Sta

LVCC employees are both professional educators and nurturing caregiverswith experience and expertise in the ield of early childhood education.We believe that for every child to receive h ighly eective early education andcare we need to recruit and retain the best employees. We encourage and

support ongoing education, training and development opportunities for our

over 200 sta members.

Proven Outcomes

As a iscally responsible, not-for-proit organization, LVCC must demonstratethat our programs make a positive dierence in the lives of children andfamilies. Our infant, toddler, and preschool teachers use the Creative Curriculum

Developmental Continuum to measure childrens progress and eectively designclassroom activities. This assures parents and sta that each child is receiving

the help he or she needs to achieve appropriate developmental milestones.

School-age classrooms utilize the Heartwood Institutes literature-based ethics

and character education curriculum. Through this program LVCC helps olderchildren incorporate ethical thinking into their everyday lives. We use s tareports and child surveys to measure our progress in promoting tolerance,

cooperation, and mutual respect among school-age children.
