Difference Makers

At Young School, we believe the heart of a quality program begins with the people who care for your children. Our entire team of educators acts with respect, works with intention, and is guided by a strong image of the child. We support our teachers in their ongoing professional development, so your child gets the best experience possible.

Highly Qualified Teachers

Our full-time classroom teachers are hired fully qualified in the state of Maryland to work with young children (or are actively pursuing their qualifications upon hiring). This includes any teachers holding a 4-year degree in a field other than Education. Our teachers have the opportunity to pursue the Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential^_® and engage in a range of other professional development experiences.

Assistant Directors

Each Preschool Cottage has a dedicated Assistant Director to actively mentor and support the teachers. This hands-on leadership role, unique to Young School, is designed to facilitate excellent communication with staff and families, ensure the implementation of quality learning experiences, and provide role-modeling for all staff grounded in our philosophy. Assistant Directors work with the administration to ensure the well-being of children, teachers, and families in each cottage.
