The YPW Teaching Team
YPW Spanish Immersion School is made possible by the deeply committed team of teachers, administrators, and directors.
Our teachers actively pursue further education and training; each team member goes above and beyond state requirements for training.
Since YPW Spanish Immersion School considers classroom readiness in all aspects such an integral part of our educational culture, even as it pertains to the well-being of our children, we go the extra mile.
Although the state requires that only one teacher per classroom be trained and certified in Infant/Toddler CPR, our entire staff, whether an administrator or a teacher, are trained and certified.
Because of their own enthusiasm to learn, our teachers are able to share their love of
knowledge with every student in our school.
Our YPW Spanish Immersion School Teachers…
- Are Spanish native speakers
- Pass rigorous background checks
- Have a college degree
- Are CPR and First Aid certified
Each and every teacher here at YPW has initial and ongoing training, per school requirements. The ongoing professional development includes classroom instruction, online training, and on-site training required on an annual basis.
Each classroom is staffed with a lead teacher, assistant teachers, and teacher aides as needed. The lead teacher creates instructional programs and activities that support differentiated learning, which is a learning approach that takes into consideration each child’s learning style and interest. Assistant teachers implement and support the classroom curriculum. We ensure that our teaching staff members not only love what they do, but also meet the highest professional standards. We are passionate about nurturing children and committed to excellence in early childhood education.
Our goal is for our YPW Spanish Immersion School to be an extension of your home. We strive to connect parents and teachers through ongoing communications in order to make sure each child has the best support system for them. Our commitment to training and supporting our teachers means you can be assured that each individual caring for your child is prepared to meet and exceed your expectations.
