Meet the Team

Fatemeh
My name is Fatemeh. I was born in Tehran, Iran and have lived in Canada for over 12 years. I’m a Registered Early Childhood Educator in the Preschool Program at SCC. I graduated from Algonquin College in 2019.
I love to bake during my spare time and most importantly, spend time with children. As far as I can remember, I have always wanted to take part in a career that educated children. When I was in grade 12, I did some research and I came to realize that Early Childhood Educator is the career that I have always wanted to pursue. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, going for long walks, and professional photography.

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.

Lauren
My name is Lauren and I’m an Early Childhood Education assistant at SCC!
I am currently pursuing a degree in Childhood and Youth Studies at Carleton University, which hopefully will lead to an elementary school teaching position. I was very lucky to gain this ECE assistant position starting in 2020, I love teaching and taking care of the young minds here at SCC. As much as I love to teach, I have been learning so much from the excellent staff (and the kids) here, and I love every second of it! SCC is an incredibly accepting and welcoming environment, giving me the best kind of experience before heading off into my career.
Outside of SCC, I love to cook, bake, read, and hang out with friends and family!

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 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!
