Our Staff
The staff of Promiseland Christian School is dedicated to providing the highest quality and standards of Early Childhood Education. We are members of the National Association of Education of Young Children which provides valuable information of the constant research and laws that pertain to this field. We strive to provide only the most age-appropriate and loving environment where all of our children will be excited about learning. We believe strongly in working together with our families to reach our common goals and in providing each child the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Promiseland staff must have obtained their forty- clock- hour introductory training requirements and their CDA credential. An Associate degree and/or higher credentials are encouraged and preferred. They must have one or more years of previous experience in the early childhood field. First Aid and CPR must remain current as well as their annual training hours required by the state of Florida to maintain their credentials. Our teachers attend workshops and conferences throughout the year to keep current on early childhood practices and procedures.
Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum
Teaching is a process that requires setting goals and continuous evaluation. This is achieved by identifying areas of cognition, providing age-appropriate experiences, selecting relevant materials which support the premise of meeting the child where he/she is and taking him/her from there to the next level. More specifically, there should be concern for the worth, value and dignity of each individual and the recognition that group interaction is a fundamental need that is a basis to our society. A child’s mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual growth is always our goal.

In-house Field Trips
Our school offers in-house field trips. We have community helpers visit the school to talk about their field of work. Helpers may include children’s theater groups, dental hygienists, firefighters, librarians, and Ms. Iris. Ms. Iris,a community educator with All Children’s Hospital in St Petersburg, is an early childhood educational partner who teaches the children the importance of proper hand washing, seatbelt safety, water safety, stranger danger and more.
We and many others find these talks and lessons very informative, interesting and educational. These in-house field trips have become a vital part of our instructional program. If you have suggestions regarding a field trip, please talk with the director or your child’s teacher. We welcome parents and/or grandparents to join us for these events.
