Very Low Child to Teacher Ratios

Building a Model for Early Education

The Playing Field believes that taking care of children begins with taking care of teachers. We support our teachers by offering competitive wages and benefits as well as low child to teacher ratios.

We invest heavily in staff development. During year one all new classroom staff participate in the Conscious Discipline eCourse which is facilitated by our leadership. Teachers are also paired with Mentor Teachers who can support their learning and classroom implementation of Conscious DisciplineĀ®.

Upon completion of the eCourse, teachers can apply to attend the weeklong Conscious DisciplineĀ® training. After attending this training, the expectation is that teachers establish a model classroom where other educators can observe Conscious DisciplineĀ® in practice. Teachers can then move into roles as Mentor Teachers where they mentor new staff. From this group of Mentor Teachers, we identify candidates for other leadership roles.
