Our Staff
The language of the Centre is English, however, some of our teachers are able to communicate in Mandarin, Cantonese, and Arabic.
I am Rashanpreet, the Supervisor of Our Saviour Lutheran Childcare Centre. With over six years of experience in early childhood education and a deep-rooted philosophy inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, I am dedicated to creating a nurturing and intellectually stimulating environment for our children.
I believe that children are capable, curious, and full of potential. I am committed to providing them with opportunities to explore their interests and ideas through a child-centered, emergent curriculum. By fostering a collaborative learning environment where children and educators learn alongside each other, we encourage creativity, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of learning.
My background in Early Childhood Education, coupled with a bachelor’s degree in business administration, allows me to bring a unique blend of educational expertise and organizational expertise to our centre. Outside of work, my personal interests in painting, cooking, and hiking not only enrich my own life but also inform my approach to holistic child development.
My name is Cindy. I am so grateful to be a full time Early Childhood Educator at Our Saviour Lutheran Child Care Centre. I have over eight years of experience in the Early Childhood Education Field. I have worked in different settings such as infant/toddler, preschool, and day cares, and through all my experience I have come to the realization that no matter how old, what environment, or even culture a child has/is, that love is the most important quality to best support them. My interests include reading, taking walks, cooking, and travelling. I believe in supporting children positively and utilizing intentional opportunities that can enhance their skill building and purposeful learning. I feel that all children are capable and unique. I look forward to provide my assistance and care to all the wonderful children, families, and staff.
Hello my name is Spencer, I come from a loving and diverse family of 5 from Barrie Ontario. Together we spent the first 17 years of my life living in an in-home daycare run by my mother. In 2016, I moved to Vancouver BC to receive my Early Childhood Education and demonstrate a positive, male role model in the ECE field. Since starting my position at Our Saviour Childcare Centre, I have gained such a wonderful connection with this outstanding team and hope to continue learning and growing together for many more years. When I am not working at the Centre I enjoy listening to music, playing sports, and exploring my love of art.
