Staff

All of our teachers are college/university trained and experienced in working with young children.  All staff members meet or exceed the licensing requirements of the California Department of Social Services.  Although the staff to child ratio varies throughout the day, the maximum ratio is one to fourteen. During the covid-19 pandemic, children are separated in consistent pods, and the staff to child ratio is greater.

 

During the times of the day when only kindergarten children are in the program, we have a greater ratio of teachers to students, usually one to ten.  Teachers receive daily supervision and training from Adventure Time Director, Mimi Albert, and Program Supervisors, Margaret Costa and Jayjay Nagayo.  Neil Tuller is the Executive Administrator and Founder of Adventure Time Extended Day Care.
