Staff Handbook for Preschool- Completely Editable

A Staff Handbook is vital in any preschool program. It helps to communicate the mission and overall purpose of your program. It clearly states the expectations of the staff to ensure that your entire team is on the same path to providing quality of care.

This resource pack is completely editable and will save you tens of hours of time!

It is the preschool Staff Handbook I've used in my program for years. All you need to do is individualize it for your program by adding your program name to the appropriate pages; deleting sections that do not apply or editing areas to reflect your programs needs or state's requirements.

This packet includes (2) informational pages about the purpose and uses of a Staff Handbook and an instruction page on how to use this handbook and then 24 pages of the editable staff handbook.

There are over 50 completed policies and procedures for you to use as is, or change to reflect your program needs incuding:
