Our Team

Our preschool team is a dedicated and collaborative group made up of Early Childhood Educators (ECEs), Early Childhood Educator Assistants (ECEAs), and Behaviour Interventionists. Together, they bring a wide range of professional training, experience, and compassion to support each child’s growth and well-being. By working closely as a team, they create a nurturing, inclusive, and structured environment where children can develop socially, emotionally, and academically. Their shared commitment ensures that every child is valued, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential.
