OUR TEAM

Here to serve.

In addition to our early childhood education and training, the Lord has given each of us gifts that we faithfully use to serve you and your family.  We have given a brief description of these gifts, the favourite part of our day here and have shared our favourite scripture with you.

INFANT CARE

Christine Alexis

ECE, IT
What I truly enjoy about my time with the children is watching their eyes light up when they have learned something new and the big smiles.

Monalyn Rarama

ECE, IT 
Seeing the children's smiles as they come running to give me a hug when I come to work every morning is one of the favourite parts of my day.  The joy the children have when I see them sing and play throughout the day warms my heart. For me, working with children is a great responsibility and blessing.

I use my gift of wisdom to serve here as an ECE, trusting God that He always has plans for each of his children and teachers.  I help children develop their early learning skills based on guiding them to seek God first in all things and to see life from His perspective.

Sheila Malinao

I use my gift of teaching to serve here. The favourite part of my day is when children explore with the toys set up during the day, making creations, shapes and movements of all sorts using their imagination.  I love how they learn through experiments and exploration and asking how things work.

SCHOOL AGE CARE

Jennifer Atherton

RA
My favorite part about working in childcare is the love I'm able to share. God gave me a special piece of his heart for children and it is part of my purpose to spread that love and kindness.
When I was younger, my daycare teachers played a special role in my growing up and it's a nice feeling being able to be there for them in a similar way.

Mirabel Thomson

RA
My favourite part about working with children is showing them Gods love. Being able to actively practice living selflessly day by day gives me purpose, knowing that I'm helping out and possibly making a change. God has given me a nurturing nature, which has flourished more while working here.

Brianna Naiker

RA
My favourite part about working with children is experiencing them being wholeheartedly children of God. Jesus loves children unconditionally and that is the main reason I love working with children. Not only do I teach the children, but they continually teach me new things every day. God has given each of these children a beautiful gift and I am lucky enough to join them and see them grow into the calling God has for their life.
