At Trinity Weekday School, we pride ourselves on maintaining a low child/teacher ratio with a staff of exceptional and caring teachers. All of our teachers have a degree in Education. In addition to a degreed teacher, each classroom has a full-time teaching assistant. The child/adult ratio for our Three Year Old program is 1:6, and the ratio for our Pre-K program is 1:8. Teachers and assistants are required to attend seminars and workshops to remain current and to introduce new and innovative teaching styles. We follow the guidelines of the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
