Performance-Based Pay Plan

Knowledge of child development and the learning process
Rapport and enthusiasm with students
Presentation skills and
Professionalism and collegiality.

"The commitment that the teachers exhibit for the students is truly remarkable. I am awe-struck by the comprehensiveness of the quarterly evaluations we receive. I think maybe the teachers know the kids better than their parents!"
