Meet Our
Teachers
and Staff
Lead Teachers
Lead teachers guide the classroom environment, daily learning flow, and child development goals. They help children build early learning skills while also shaping the tone of the classroom with calm leadership.
Parents often notice lead teachers are the ones who make a classroom feel steady, organized, and welcoming.
Assistant Teachers
Assistant teachers help children succeed in the small moments that make a big difference: transitions, routines, emotional regulation, and participation. They provide extra hands, extra encouragement, and extra support.
Assistant teachers are often the ones helping children feel comfortable when they are new, tired, shy, or adjusting.
Support Staff and Float Teachers
Support team members help maintain consistency across the day. They assist during busy transition times, provide coverage when needed, and help keep routines stable so the child experience stays smooth.
This role is especially important for keeping a calm environment and supporting classroom flow.
Office and Administrative Team
The office team helps families feel supported before a child ever enters the classroom. They assist with scheduling tours, answering enrollment questions, and helping parents feel confident about next steps.

Staff Training and Professional Standards
Families looking for childcare teachers and staff often want to know how teams are trained, supported, and held to consistent expectations.
While specific training requirements can vary, our focus stays the same:
-
Teachers are coached on classroom routines and age-appropriate guidance
-
Staff are trained to support safe supervision and smooth transitions
-
Teams emphasize clear expectations, consistency, and child-centered care
-
Ongoing growth is encouraged so staff stay aligned with classroom standards
We believe training matters because it protects children, supports learning, and creates a calmer environment for everyone.
Our Christian Commitment
Great Beginnings is a Christian preschool and childcare program. Our team’s commitment to faith shows up in the tone of the classroom and in the way children are guided.
This looks like:
-
kindness in how adults speak to children
-
patience and calm leadership during hard moments
-
character coaching that encourages respect, honesty, and gratitude
-
child-friendly faith moments that fit early childhood
We believe children should experience faith as something warm, consistent, and lived out through care, not just words.
