Alexandra, ECE, ITE, SNE, Director
I have been a registered Early Childhood Educator since completing my program in Ottawa, ON in 2018. I moved to the island just six months later with my three year old son, Henry, and became recognized by the province of BC as an Infant and Toddler Educator, an Early Childhood Educator as well as a Special Needs Educator. Working with children is undoubtedly what makes me happy. I've held many positions in daycare settings since the beginning of my apprenticeship and have gained a variety of skills with children as well as parents, coworkers and people in our small but mighty ECE community. I full-heartedly believe in the importance of fostering positive and inclusive environments for children and their well-being.
In 2021 I completed a BA in Psychology through Laurentian University and last fall I chose to pursue Western University's Master's of Professional Education in the field of Early Childhood Education program. I am so incredibly fortunate to be with the team at Centennial Day Care. I hope to continue learning from children as they learn from me.

Working with children has always been my passion. I have worked with children most of my life in a variety of ways. Seeing the smiles, hearing the laughter, and observing the growth and development of each child is a joy. My belief is that children learn and grow through play, exploration, discovery, and creativity.

Maria, ECE, SNE
Hello, my name is Maria! I moved to Canada with my husband and my 3 teenagers almost 3 years ago from Mexico where I had studied to be an Elementary School Teacher! I have lived in different countries with my family and understand the importance of supporting different cultures and diverse needs. Since being in Canada, I have studied at Camosun College and am now registered as an Early Childhood Educator with a Specialized Certification in Inclusive Learning and Care. As working with children has always been my passion, I am thankful and happy to be a part of Centennial Day Care where I continue my journey of learning alongside children. I believe that I receive and learn more children than what I offer and I enjoy seeing them create magic with their little hands! Getting to witness how they learn, imagine and experiment through play is a real blessing.

Audrey, ECEA
In 2020, I took the Community, Family and Child Studies program through Camosun. The CFCS brought forward meaningful principals and allowed me to obtained my ECEA certificate. I am currently working towards receiving my full ECE Diploma! Since then, I have worked at two different centres and learned quickly that my heart aligns with the morals, philosophies, and environment of Centennial Day Care Centre. Working and learning alongside children adds an excitement to my world that is unmatched! Experiencing a child's perception of their environment and witnessing their milestones, at all ages and stages, brings me joy. I hope to continue coming together in communities of practice and developing my ability to respectfully live and learn together.
