Meet the Team
Fatima
My name is Fatima and I’m a registered Early Childhood Educator in the Preschool Program at SCC.
I’ve always been interested in working with children and their development. My passion started when I taught TaekWonDo classes to young children in Stittsville. I decided to pursue this passion into a career and got my diploma in Early Childhood Education at Algonquin College.
My favourite part about being an educator is seeing their growth and development. I enjoy working with their creative, caring and curious minds everyday.

Hilary
My name is Hilary and you will usually find me with the kindergarten and school age children. I have been working at the centre for more than ten years and plan to be for many more to come.
I originally went to school for music performance before becoming an ECE. I will always try to incorporate music into the day, be it singing a silly song or just playing something in the background.
I have a three year old daughter who joined the SCC family from the get go and she loves it here as much as I do.

Linda
Linda has been at Stittsville Childcare since 2010–to the present and has worked in every room at the centre, her favourite being preschool!

Mabel
My name is Mabel and I am an educator in the toddler room. In 2021 I graduated from the Early Childhood Program at Algonquin and I am now an RECE. I have always wanted to work with children, it has always been a big passion of mine. My favourite part of the day is when the children first come to the centre, their smiles and excitement to come to the daycare make my day. My goal as an educator is to make all children and family members feel welcomed in the toddler room. I want to support every child’s needs and learning styles as well as celebrating their uniqueness. I am very excited to be part of this amazing childcare team! My other passions outside of work are exploring nature and going on walks. I also enjoy playing with my cats and reading! |
Maria
Hello,
My name is Maria. I joined Stittsville Childcare Centre four years ago. I work in the Senior Preschool room. I call it my " happy place" providing love, and care to your precious little ones. I absolutely adore children, and look forward to a career in Early Childhood Education.
I was born in Portugal (a few moons ago..haha) My family came to Canada in 1969. I'm one of 7 children, and my parents' favourite child..haha. I'm a single mom to an amazing son, and Aunty to 16 wonderful nieces and nephews. I'm also their favourite Aunty.
Outside of work, I enjoy nature walks, movies, and spending time with family and friends.

Santhi
Hi, My name is Santhi and I joined the Stittsville Childcare Center in 2021. I am a Civil Engineer graduate, but I am interested in building a career in ECE. I am a mother of two lovely boys. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking and traveling with my family and friends.

Working with the toddlers and all the children at Stittsville Childcare Center brings me great joy. I enjoy working at Stittsville Childcare Center because of the amazing team of teachers. Thank you for sharing your precious children with us!

Sami
My name is Sami and I am a registered Early Childhood Educator in the Preschool Program at SCC.
I have many hobbies, such as baking, reading, crocheting, and spending time with family and friends. Even more so, I love spending time with children, watching them play, learn, and grow! Growing up, I always knew that I wanted to help people in some way, but after taking a gap year, I discovered that becoming an RECE and educating children was the way to go.
I love being able to connect and learn about each and every child, including their interests, their abilities, and their talents!

Ryan
My name is Ryan Parnell, I’ve worked with SCC for 1 year and before that I’d spent my whole life around my younger cousins, helping take care of them and eventually got a job babysitting. That’s how I learned I enjoyed working with children. I’m always reminded why I love my job when I see the smiles on kids faces.
