Little Learners & Early Explorers

Toddler Teachers

Alisha

Toddler Teacher

I began my career as an early childhood educator more than a decade ago. Creative Minds has been my home for 7 years, and I have thrived in the family-like atmosphere we have at our center. In our toddler class, we strive to help our toddlers be independent and eager learners. My current professional goal is to update my documentation more often.

Savannah

Toddler Teacher

I’ve been working in childcare and at Creative Minds since October 2021. I really enjoy working in the toddler program, watching and helping our children grow. In our class, we strive to create independent and curious children. A goal I currently have is to further my knowledge and techniques with children and their different behaviours.

Ashley

Assistant Supervisor / Curriculum Facilitator Assistant

I graduated from the College of the North Atlantic in 2009. I have worked at Creative Minds for 9 years in the toddler room. I enjoy watching them grow and develop into little people who want to learn all about the world around them. I strive to be a welcoming, calming place for the children in my care. I excel at children’s developmental skills and how to make programs that will help a child master a skill that they are having trouble with.

Carol

Toddler Teacher

I have been an ECE assistant with the Creative Minds family for 14 years. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege and opportunity to care for, nurture, and support many amazing friends, from preschool to infants, and currently Toddler Room 1. I’m looking forward to continuously building positive relationships with the children and families that are enrolled in the future.

Toddler Teacher

Sasha

Toddler Teacher

I have been working at Creative Minds as an educational assistant for 4 months now. I started working here because I have always been interested in working with kids, and working here has been helping me realize that this is the work that I want to do. I work really hard here, and who knows, maybe next year I could be going to college to get my ECE and become an early childhood educator.

Early Explorers & J/K Prep

Preschool Teachers

Alison

Preschool Teacher

I am the new Educational Assistant in Preschool 3. I am excited to start my journey at Creative Minds and meet the parents, caregivers, and children that visit the centre. A little about me: I am a Registered Social Worker who has been supporting children and youth in diverse settings over the past 6 years. I am passionate about providing therapeutic services and creating inclusive environments where all children can thrive.

Laura

Preschool Teacher

I graduated in 2006 from the ECE program at Mohawk College. Creating a welcoming environment that inspires the curiosity of learning is something that I strive to accomplish. Educating young children isn’t solely about academics, but also life skills. For me, it is about giving children time to observe, explore, and connect the pieces of their world together. To be a supporter, a witness, and a cheerleader for their “Aha” moments.

Silvia

Preschool Teacher

I received my education in early childhood education from Mumbai, India, in 2013. I moved to the US in 2014 and worked with children ages infant to kindergarten. Since moving to Canada and working at Creative Minds, I have been thrilled to bring my expertise in early childhood education, together with my background in arts to the classroom. I create engaging and imaginative learning experiences that nurture young minds and spark their creativity.

Caitlyn

Preschool Teacher

I’m a RECE and graduated from Niagara College in 2014. I have worked with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I love to do crafts and activities that allow everyone to be creative and express themselves. I’m a believer in being independent and becoming your own person. I have a daughter who is starting kindergarten soon, and I love to paint, read, and write creatively.

Caitlyn

Preschool Teacher

Tina

Preschool Teacher

I’m a registered early childhood educator for Creative Minds. I worked for my parents in their children’s entertainment business from a young age, and there I found my passion for my career in childcare and artistic expression. It fit perfectly with what I wanted to do with my life. My goals were to work with children, help them grow, learn, and solve problems together. I enjoyed studying early childhood education while at Sheridan College, graduating in 2016.
