Core Values :

Our educators are responsible for and will provide children with the education and experiences needed to ensure early success and school readiness.

Parent involvement is critical in the development of a child. We form a partnership with parents by providing newsletters and daily information sheets on what their child has learned each day.

We will provide a safe atmosphere where children can learn to communicate and express themselves among peers. We value learning and understand that children learn in different ways.

We encourage self-esteem and want each child to recognize their strengths and feel confident as they become ready to enter Kindergarten.

We value respect for each child, family, and staff member.

Work Environment :

Helping children grow, learn, and gain new skills can be very rewarding. Our Educators will be responsible for planning and implementing child care for young children.

They must ensure the development and safety of these children in accordance to Steeplechase Academy and in compliance with the State of Missouri's Department of Education.

Educators will be respectful of children and parents, and ensure that equipment and facilities are clean, safe, and well-maintained.

Failure to provide adequate services may place children at risk.
