It is the mission of Woods Child Development Center to inspire excellence in learning and creativity, to build character, and to foster respect for others and the world around us by providing an engaging, developmentally appropriate program for children ages 2 to 4 in a nurturing, Christian environment.
All teachers must maintain their level by participating in annual professional development that fulfills Core Knowledge requirements. They must also complete a certain
number of Professional Activity Units each year which include participation in community events, professional workshops, and continuing education.
Each program at Woods CDC has a Lead Teacher who oversees, plans, and implements a developmentally appropriate program for Preschool children that meets the Maryland State Department of Education’s accreditation standards. Other responsibilities include assessing the growth and needs of the children, facilitating parents conferences, and promoting a safe and healthy learning environment. Lead teachers must have a Bachelor Degree in Early Childhood Education or related field.
Assistant Lead Teachers assist the Lead Teacher in the implementation of the daily activities. Other responsibilities include working with individual children and small groups to meet the needs of the children. Assistant Lead Teachers must hold an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education or related field.
Teaching Assistants work collaboratively with the teaching team and help to supervise the educational activities. Teaching Assistants must have at least one year of experience working with children.
