Rothewood Accredited Teachers

All our teachers must be licensed Early Childhood Educators (ECEs). Upon joining our team, they will complete the Rothewood Teacher Training Program, a specialized professional development program designed to prepare them for success in our Junior Kindergarten schools.

Our training program equips teachers with the knowledge, skills, and practical strategies to confidently implement the Rothewood curriculum, design engaging and developmentally appropriate learning experiences, use purposeful observation and assessment to guide planning, foster children’s holistic development, build meaningful relationships, and continuously strengthen their teaching practice.

Beyond building practical teaching competencies, our Teacher Training Program aims to develop confident, reflective, and inspired educators who can bring Rothewood curriculum to life, champion its philosophy, and inspire excellence in others.

By the time one of teachers becomes fully certified, they will have received up to 4 months of additional instruction which includes successfully completing a final exam including an observation of their practical skills in the classroom. This level of training is unparalleled for early education teachers in Canada and many of our teachers take it a step further. After certification, teachers may continue their education by taking refresher courses, often when they are switching their specialized subject, or by pursuing ongoing training that is supported by the principals at their schools.

All of our early childhood educators are also trained in First Aid.
