Our Teachers

Apple School employs degreed teachers for its Head Teacher positions in each classroom.  Assistant Teachers may be degreed or have early childhood college classes and/or several years’ experience in preschool classroom settings.

State regulations require a ratio of 1 teacher per 8 two-year olds, 1 teacher per 10 three, four and five year olds, and 1 teacher per 16 school age children.  Apple School has always exceeded these ratios.

Staff Training

A background check is completed on each staff member, which includes a criminal record check. Each staff member is required to have a complete physical examination. Once hired, each teacher must complete twelve hours of training in child development each year. In addition, all staff are CPR and First-Aid trained.

Staff Profile

Currently Apple School has 6 teachers with a Bachelor’s degree and  2 teachers with a Master’s degree. We have one staff member who has been at Apple School for more than 15 years and one staff member who has been a member for 10 years. The rest have been with Apple School between two and five years. We consider each other as “family” after our long association together.
