Staff

Milestones is committed to fresh, emergent curriculum presented by engaged competent early childhood professionals. Therefore, our teachers work hard to create activities that take into account the interests of the children in class. Additionally, when children are unusually engaged, staff do not stop to move onto the next activity. Instead, they take their cues from the interests of the children. Milestones' administration offers monthly themes for the teachers to work from. They are loosely tied to local and seasonal happenings, and give more of a general framework from which to start. Each teacher works to develop a lesson plan for the week based on their particular small group. The teachers use observations, DRDPs (Desired Results Developmental Profiles, a nationally recognized assessment tool) and children's interests to plan their lessons.

We participate in several programs locally, to help others learn more about Early Childhood Education, deepen their skills, find a new career field, and do observations for their higher education goals. Some agencies are:

Pivot Sacramento ECE Apprentice Program

CCCA - Capital College & Career Academy

Jessup University Nursing Program

Los Rios Community College District

CSU Sacramento Nursing and Child Development Programs

All staff (whether permanent, temporary, subs, or volunteers) have full FBI and DOJ background checks, Tb tests, required immunizations, and other documentation required by Community Care Licensing.
