Hi everyone! My name is Samantha, and I am so excited to be part of the Newstead Academy team. I spent five years working directly with children and worked at our Richmond Hill location as both an assistant and a D.A ECE. Following that, I made the move to Markham Business Operations Coordinator to support our opening efforts before transitioning into the role of Assistant to the Director. Working with children has always been my passion. I love creating environments that inspire curiosity, creativity, and joyful learning. Supporting both educators and families behind the scenes is of the most importance to create a holistic and beneficial circle for the child to grow. I believe every child has incredible potential, and it's our responsibility to foster that through love, patience, encouragement, and time. I look forward to working alongside our amazing families and educators to help create a warm, welcoming environment at Newstead.
Newstead Academy is located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and other Indigenous peoples who have lived here over time. We are grateful to share this land as treaty people who learn, work, and live in the community with each other.
Newstead Academy is committed to creating and sustaining an equitable and inclusive learning and working environment. We encourage and actively seek applications from Indigenous, Black, racialized people, visible minorities, 2SLGBTQIA+ persons, all genders, and persons with disabilities.
