Our teachers are the backbone of our educational mission. More than just teaching, they transform classrooms into spaces of discovery, creativity, and growth, which extends to the entire community.

Our Educators

All our educators are Georgia State Certified Teachers, committed to world-class, research-based instruction aligned with Georgia Early Childhood Education Standards (GELDS) and Elementary Education Standards (GSE).

Teacher Profile:

An Innovative Curriculum for Our Teachers:

Through STEAM education, we create learning experiences that prepare children for success through three pillars:

• SEE (Social, Emotional, and Ethical) Learning: Developed by Emory University, it equips students to care for their emotional well-being and thrive in a global world.
• Project-Based Learning (PBL): A hands-on approach where students solve real-world problems, fostering critical thinking and teamwork.
• Play-Based and Inquiry-Based Learning: Guided by experts, children explore and understand their environment in a natural and dynamic way.

Investment in Our Educators’ Talent:

We firmly believe that an empowered teacher is the direct path to student success. That’s why we focus on ongoing professional development:

• Teacher Retention and Impact
  85% of classroom teachers expressed their desire to remain engaged with our programs and return for the summer of 2025, a testament to the meaningful and fulfilling experiences.
• Spring Professional Development
  Sessions include curriculum training, strategies for enriching classroom environments, and opportunities for collaborative planning with colleagues from various LNP sites.
• Learning Site Visits
  Explore partner teaching sites such as the Chattahoochee Nature Center (CNC), gaining new insights and tools to enhance the learning experience.
• Summer Training
