Our Educators
Hello everyone! I want to include a little passage sharing my story and my strong love for children and families.
I was born in England and grew up with my mum, dad, and younger brother. We immigrated to Canada as a family and began our new life on the west coast of Canada. I grew up in the Kitsilano area of Vancouver and have always had a love for children.
After high school, I moved to Vancouver Island to attend the University of Victoria. I began working as a teacher in a local daycare in 2008, where I grew to take on a Managerial role and continued employment for 4 years. During this time, I recognized my true passion for children, and knew that this was my calling, my gift, and my future career. In 2012, I opened Adventure Island Childcare.
I have attended many seminars and workshops, and also began my formal education and training in the online Early Childhood Education Diploma Program at Northern Lights College in 2011. Here I obtained my Assistant Status.
In 2019, my daughter Myra was born, and I am so excited to now have her a part of the group!
I am committed to providing quality care to children and supporting their families, while fostering strong and caring relationships.
I am looking forward to getting to know each other, and I am so excited for what the future holds at Adventure Island Childcare!
Thank you!
Miss Nikki
