Meet Our Team of Warm educators & dreamers
Ya Ya Preschool is recognized for our well-trained team of teachers and dedicated educational leadership. We model a joyful work environment by approaching our roles with the same enthusiasm we want our students to have toward learning. The close partnership between the teachers and the administrators plays an essential role in the success of our school. Our teaching team is highly collaborative; there is no single star teacher, as we all support each other and grow into star educators together.
Who are Ya Ya Teachers?
Ya Ya teachers are not only full of love and patience, but they are also incredibly versatile, bringing a wide range of skills from fields such as music, art, STEM, and language development. This diverse expertise allows our educators to create dynamic and enriching learning experiences that nurture well-rounded, curious learners. Many of our lead teachers hold a Master’s degree from prestigious institutions like Columbia University and NYU, or are in the process of obtaining their first or second Master’s degree in early childhood education. In addition to their strong academic backgrounds, Ya Ya teachers embrace a child-first mindset and are passionate about fostering creativity and curiosity in every student. Each teacher undergoes rigorous training, and we provide continuous professional development to refine their skills, ensuring they remain at the forefront of early childhood education.
