New scientific research on infant brain development confirms what English Nanny & Governess School has been saying for the last twenty-two years: Children are able to absorb vast amounts of information from infancy. One third of all knowledge gained over a lifetime is developed in the first three years of life. It has taken almost a quarter of a century for science to catch up with something we already knew. Our training curriculum is based on the motto, “Education Begins at Birth.” Our motto doesn’t stop there. We believe that children of all ages should be reared in an environment in which they will develop intellectually, emotionally, cognitively and culturally. English Nanny & Governess School’s Certified Professional Nannies (CPNs) and Certified Professional Governesses (CPGs) are trained to provide such an environment. Our distinguished faculty teaches students “educare”-the education and care of children. We prepare our students through an intensive academic curriculum and “hands on” training program. Our coursework includes: child growth, behavior and development; cultural enrichment; child care and health; safety and security; and much more. We receive applications to attend English Nanny & Governess School from all over the United States. Our admissions requirements are rigorous. We accept only students who have a commitment to nurturing children, academic qualifications and childcare experience We then conduct a thorough background screening to ensure that every candidate can provide a safe, loving environment for your child.
