Why Creative STEAM Only Hires Credentialed Teachers

When parents choose an alternative education program or homeschool support center, one of the biggest questions they ask is:

“Who will be teaching my child?”

It’s an important question because while beautiful campuses, fun projects, and flexible schedules matter, nothing impacts a child’s learning more than the teacher in front of them. At Creative STEAM Academy, we have a clear standard: Every teacher is credentialed. Not because credentials are just a piece of paper. But because they represent training, experience, and a deep understanding of how children actually learn.

Teaching Is a Skill — Not Just a Passion

Loving children is wonderful. Being creative is valuable. Having enthusiasm is important. But effective teaching requires more than heart.

Credentialed teachers are trained in:

• Child development

• Reading instruction and intervention

• Differentiated learning

• Classroom management

• Assessment and academic planning

• Supporting diverse learning needs

This training allows our teachers to recognize when a child is thriving and when they need extra support. It allows them to adapt instruction, close gaps, challenge advanced learners, and build confidence in struggling students.

That’s not accidental. That’s professional expertise.

Consistency, Quality, and Accountability

Because our teachers are credentialed, families can trust that:

• Instruction is research-based

• Curriculum is thoughtfully designed

• Students are assessed meaningfully

• Learning goals are clear

• Progress is monitored

It means your child isn’t just being supervised. They’re being educated intentionally.

Supporting Every Kind of Learner

One of the greatest advantages of credentialed educators is their ability to support:

• Advanced learners who need challenge

• Struggling readers who need intervention

• Neurodiverse learners who need flexibility

• Social-emotional growth alongside academics

Our credentialed teachers don’t teach to a script. They teach to the child.

The Creative STEAM Difference

At Creative STEAM, we combine:

• Credentialed educators

• Small class sizes

• Hands-on project-based learning

• Reading specialists and intervention

• Social-emotional support

• Real-world skill building

This creates a learning environment where students are supported, challenged, and truly known.

Because Your Child Deserves Expertise

Alternative education should never mean lower standards. It should mean higher intention. By hiring only credentialed teachers, we ensure that every student receives the highest quality instruction in a setting that feels warm, personal, and inspiring. That’s not just our policy. It’s our promise to families.
