Current Families
All aspects of the A. Sophie Rogers School for Early Learning are designed to support your child’s healthy growth. We focus on developing key social-emotional skills, fostering curiosity and confidence to learn, and helping prepare your child for kindergarten. Decisions ranging from the physical set-up of the furniture and materials in the classroom, to the selection of books in the library, to the type of tomato plant growing in our garden, are all intentional and grounded in foundational and proven practices.

Team Lead Teacher
Team lead teachers are the instructional leaders in the classroom and ensure the quality of the instruction provided. They have a deep understanding of child development and pedagogy and work as part of an effective team to provide high-quality instruction based on observational assessments. Team lead teachers manage the dynamics among educators and children in the classroom. They use data to inform instruction and to address any needs or concerns for individual students.
Teacher
The teacher’s primary role is to ensure the education provided to children is of the highest quality. They will interact with children, implement the classroom curriculum, conduct ongoing formative and summative assessments, and communicate with parents and caregivers. The teacher also provides leadership and mentorship to school aides and Ohio State students.
