At the risk of getting off topic, (with a senior team member

) That was the very first thing we were taught to think about. Creating a "knowledge base" and then continuing to build upon it. I guess it's odd for me as I go to a college that is mostly teachers, so all of the professors have a minimum of a Masters in Education with years of classroom experience, most have Doctorates or multiple Masters in varying aspects of education. People in the New Ulm Area can enroll their children in our Early Childhood Education Center, where students go to student teach and get experience related to liscensure, and that center is headed by two teachers with doctorates in Early Childhood Education. Talk about qualified Day Care Providers!
