• Maintained high standards for teachers and teaching assistants – 100% of staff earned the Early Childhood Ancillary Certificate, with 87% lead teachers holding at least a bachelor’s degree, including 3 teachers who hold master's degrees.
• Promoted the B-K Teacher Certification, and currently have teachers at the ECELP working toward certification.
• Maintained federal funding for student families attending the ECELP.
• Maintained NAEYC teacher:child ratios to provide the highest level of care for young children.
• The Parent Auxilary Council (PAC) hosted multiple events that both raised funds for the preschool and helped to foster a continued sense of community.
• As the flagship for the State of Louisiana, our preschool is a living, learning laboratory. As such, we are committed to creating and disseminating cutting-edge research, as well as pursuing external grant funding. I am thrilled to report that we received over $700,000 from the Louisiana Department of Education to support the activities of the preschool.  
• Within all of these collective endeavours, we were also able to give our teachers raises, moving them closer to public school teachers salaries. This is important in retaining highly qualified teachers at the ECELP.
