Alexandra
My name is Alexandra and I’m a Registered Early Childhood Educator in the Preschool Program here at SCC! Ever since I can remember I always wanted to make a profession out of educating little minds. My passion began when I started teaching cooking classes for the youth of Ottawa. I quickly began falling in love with educating and decided to pursue a diploma in Early Childhood Education at Algonquin College. My favourite part about being a preschool educator is seeing so many creative minds flourish and grow every day! I love answering the many “why” questions and overall being silly and making child care a pleasant, loving & caring environment for all children who attend. Besides that, I enjoy cooking & trying new recipes, fashion and hanging out with my cat Leo! |

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. |

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. |

I have been working in this field for more than 10 years and I am truly fortunate and blessed to be teaching at an amazing child care centre that embodies a nurturing and loving environment. I just like working with kids and I love to learn new things so this is genuinely an enjoyable learning experience for me.
