Our Staff

City Kids employs five full-time and two part-time teachers.
It is the Centre's policy to employ fully-trained teachers or people with a suitable qualification that will enhance the Centre's curriculum.
A teacher:child ratio of nearly 1:6 is the norm

The Centre has a policy for training and development which encourages staff to make use of the funding available,
courses offered and additional support provided by Early Childhood agencies.

The Centre also employs a part-time cook to make meals fresh for the children each day as well as a part-time administrator.
