The Staff at BMCCC
All lead teachers hired at BMCCC will be hired with experience. All staff that are hired at the center will go through an extensive written interview as well as an observation period in the classroom. From the written interviews the best 2 to 3 applicants will be observed in the classroom and then the best of the two/three chosen for the position. No staff will be hired until they are actually observed in the classroom interacting with the children. We can never be too careful in hiring the perfect staff for your children. We want to ensure that when we hire we have to best person for the job. By observing the staff in the classroom before hiring it ensures that we have picked the best applicant for the job.
Curriculum

Certified fitness instructors will work with children ages 2 and up on a weekly basis. Monthly lesson plans from Stretch n Grow will go home with parents on a monthly basis.
Discipline
Redirection is the first form of discipline used at the center. If this fails to solve the problem at hand then we will use “take a break.” This will be determined by an appropriate amount of time based on the child’s age.
