Teachers and Staff must go through a rigorous background check prior to being employed including FBI fingerprinting and training in recognizing and preventing child abuse. The screening is done by both the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston and Texas Department of Health and Human Services. 

• Each staff member must complete a minimum of 24 hours of continuous education and professional development each school year.
• Teachers are expected to have a minimum of one year of experience working with young children prior to employment with St. Ambrose. 
• Substitute teachers go through the same background check procedures and are trained on site for at least 24 shift hours before substituting for any regular staff member.
• All teachers work in teams of two and are not responsible for classrooms alone.
