Meet the Teachers

Ms. Linda

I have been working with children since I was 11 years old through various babysitting and summer camp jobs.Following high school graduation, I pursued the field of early childhood education. After I had my two children I attended night school at Mount Royal to get my certificate in early childhood education, and  in 1995, I went back to Mount Royal and completed my diploma. I have been a director for years at various daycare companies, one company had 12 centre’s called Playcare. I have had personal dayhomes, and worked in after-school programs. My big love has been preschools, and I enjoy meeting the parents and having the opportunity to do school prep for my little people. I take great pleasure in children learning the fundamentals to prepare them for kindergarten, and take great pride in watching the personal growth and development through their preschool years.

A driving force and inherent joy in my life and career — both as a parent and educator — is the sparking of children’s learning. Therefore, my promise is to provide a classroom environment that facilitates student engagement, exploration, and challenge in a lifelong journey of learning.

Outside of the classroom I enjoy spending time with my family – we can often be found digging in the garden, cooking, and enjoying the outdoors.
