Hi, my name is Tina! I am a Registered Early Childhood Educator with a diploma in Early Childhood Education from Seneca Polytechnic. I chose to pursue a career in early learning because I have a genuine love for working with children and feel passionate about supporting them during such an important stage in their lives. What I enjoy most about being an educator is helping children grow not just academically, but socially, and emotionally. It is incredibly rewarding to be part of their journey, watching their confidence build and their unique personalities shine through. Knowing that I can have a positive and lasting impact on a child life is what motivates me every day. I am a believer in play-based learning, and I like to incorporate it into my daily practice. I believe that play is the most natural and effective way for children to learn about the world around them. Through play, children develop essential life skills such as problem-solving, communication, and creativity.
