Our Staff
The Truro Preschool staff consists of:
- 9 teachers,
- 10 teaching assistants,
- a chapel director and an assistant, and
- 4 office and support staff.

experience working with preschool/kindergarten age children, love for
children and ability to relate to others, educational background, and
ability to plan creatively and implement an effective program for
children.
Upon employment, all Truro Preschool &
Kindergarten Staff are subject to a criminal background check and must
attend a four hour seminar on the Awareness of Sexual Misconduct. All
staff members are CPR trained and attend a First Aid refresher
annually. Truro Preschool & Kindergarten staff are required to
receive annual certification from a practicing physician that they are
free from any illness or disability which would prevent them from
caring for children. They are also required to have a tuberculin skin
test every two years.
Our teachers all have either a
B.A., B.S. degree, or a CDA (Child Development Associate credential),
as do most of our assistants. The teachers average 10 years of
childcare and/or teaching experience and all employees are confessing
Christians.
The Director of the program regularly
monitors classroom activity and continually evaluates the effectiveness
of the school program. The school also employs an Early Childhood
Development Specialist who is responsible for the curriculum at Truro
Preschool and regularly works with the teaching staff to ensure that
appropriate techniques and curriculum are being consistently delivered
in the classroom. The Early Childhood Development Specialist also works
with special needs children, their parents, and the teacher to ensure
that every child’s developmental needs are met during the program. The
TPK Office staff is rounded out by an Administrator and an
Administrative Assistant.
