Our teachers are partners in your child’s development. They will work closely with you to provide your child with the nurturing and safe environment where they can explore and develop to their full potential. Jack and Jill Childcare has low staff turnover for consistent, familiar care of your child. Our low teacher-to-student ratios and small group sizes allow teachers to focus on the individual learning styles and needs of each child in our centers. Our staff members are CPR and first aid certified and participate in approximately forty hours of continuing education annually.
