Our most precious resource is our dedicated team of Early Childhood Educators. While many child care services experience a continuing parade of changing teachers, what sets us apart at Green Gables is our committed team of full-time, part-time and casual child care professionals (many with their own children) providing a stable foundation.
We encourage and assist all staff in the pursuit of further education, and continuing professional development. There is an amazing array of new research within the field of Early Learning, and we maintain active links within academia and industry to remain informed.
