What is the risk of having non-certified enrichment teachers working with the children at our school/facility?
The primary drawback to hiring a non-certified enrichment teacher is that you have no way of knowing what knowledge they lack regarding safety, legal liabilities, transferring custody of children and other important issues until after a mistake has been made. When it comes to allowing an adult to work with your children, there are no second chances. Only through certification are you assured a teacher has demonstrated a thorough understanding of the skills, tasks and knowledge necessary to work with children safely and effectively.
