Shelby University is proud to have a dedicated team of teachers who are passionate about providing a personal experiential learning environment for children while ensuring the curriculum is followed at the highest standard.

Through nurturing guidance, they inspire and encourage individuality in every Shelby U child. Their nurturing and attentive approach offers each child a home-away-from-home experience.

Our staff is absolutely second to none! Our dedicated teachers work as a team to provide the highest level of care and developmentally appropriate programs for children as possible. Besides academics and experience, each staff member is chosen for their energy, creativity, enthusiasm, and, of course, for their genuine love of teaching young children.  We strictly adhere to state licensing requirements by facilitating criminal conviction and background checks before a staff member starts working with children.

We provide nutritious snacks and meals each day.  We also will provide a breakfast for early arrivers. Our menu includes fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables and high quality protein sources. Parents are constantly surprised at the variety of foods that their children will eat at school that they won’t even try at home. Often this is due to “positive peer pressure.” It might not happen the first time, or even the second time, but children will eventually eat foods that they see their friends enjoying.

*Due to the extreme nature of allergic reactions to peanuts, we do not serve any peanut-containing products at our school. This applies to foods brought in from home as well.

Two-way communication between our center and parents is paramount for the healthy development of the child. We have an open-door policy, allowing for families/guardians to visit our center at any time.  We also use a mobile application called Brightwheel that captures and shares your child's development so you'll never have to miss out! It's an intuitive, complimentary, easy-to-use family engagement app that allows families to see how their child is doing each day. The app ensures privacy with a password login that can be shared with other family members.

Our centers are thoroughly cleaned throughout each day and professionally cleaned on weekends. All of our infant and toddler classrooms maintain a shoeless policy in order to maintain clean floors for our crawling children. We only use environmentally friendly cleaning products which are a much safer alternative to traditional cleaning products.

The main entrance of both of our buildings is secured by a pass-code entry security system, ensuring that only our families and teachers can enter the building unassisted. This was implemented to ensure maximum security and safety of the children. These security measures can be individually deactivated any time if needed.
