Where every day is filled with laughter and learning

Staff

We recognize it is of great importance that we should employ well qualified, experienced staff in order to maintain a high standard of care and education and we always have more staff than the minimum requirements as set by the State. This enables the staff to spend more time with children individually. We also have extra staff attending at lunch times to help with the feeding of our younger children.

All our staff have been checked both by FDLE and by Department of Children and Families, and references are thoroughly investigated to ensure that each member of staff is the right person for the job.

Our qualified, dedicated staff are strongly committed to your child’s development and education. To maintain our high standards, every member of staff is encouraged to take on further training in specialized subjects therefore improving their knowledge in how to care for every child in every situation. Many of our staff are CPR and First Aid trained, and the owners of AVA were previously a qualified nurse and a firefighter, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands should there ever be an emergency situation.

During your child’s stay in each classroom at AVA, he or she will be allocated a teacher. Each member of staff is responsible for a group of children to whom he or she will be their principal carer. This ensures that each child is treated as an individual and the consistency of staff gives your child a sense of security throughout the day. Your child’s teacher is also your first point of contact should you wish to discuss any aspect of their care, progress or development.
