Faculty

All of our head teachers have a Master's Degree in early childhood education or child development, as well as extensive experience working with children.  The head teachers are also responsible for supervising student teachers and practicum students working toward Kentucky Interdisciplinary Early Childhood Certification.  Our teachers actively participate in the professional organizations for young children and value growing as child care professionals.  Graduate students act as our assistant teachers in the preschool rooms.  These students are currently working on their master's degree in early childhood education.

In addition to head teachers and assistant teachers, our classrooms have Early Childhood majors fulfilling their practicum requirements.

The ECL staff also includes the director, a tenure-track faculty member of the department of Family Studies, and a staff assistant.  The Director is responsible for supervising the ECL faculty, managing the budget, coordinating the educational program, the teacher training program, and research activities.
