EarlyOn Team


Adeola
With my previous experience as a High School Educator, I discovered that early childhood experiences have lifelong impacts; therefore, it is important to lay a positive foundation for children’s growth and development. As an early Learning Specialist, however, I endeavour to provide a safe, nurturing, supportive, and inclusive environment, where children and their families feel a deep sense of belonging and are able to reach their full potential.

Carol
As an early learning specialist in EarlyON, Supporting children and families with my knowledge and connecting them in our diverse community are the two things I always pursue. I am full of respect for various personalities shown of each child, so I enjoy exploring different educational philosophies and sharing them with families. I love traveling and experiencing multiple cultures.

Deanna
My mission as a part of the Early Years team is to provide constant support to families and caregivers, as well as encourage families to provide children with a sense of belonging in every aspect of their life. I strive to provide a nurturing and safe space for all children that participate in our programs. When I think of EarlyON, I think of the collaborative, natural, and unique approaches to learning for each and every child. Throughout my professional career, I have come to understand the importance of healthy early development, and its relationship with lifelong learning, behavior and health. I enjoy spending my spare time with my family and fur babies.

Deborah
I am an administrative assistant here at EarlyON. I love being able to help others in any way that I can. I love to smile, as a smile can do many things. A smile makes you feel welcome or just enhances your day. I am crazy about sparkles. Whether it is my jewelry or clothes, something always sparkles about me. I am delighted to be a wife and mother. Unfortunately for my husband, I am a shopper and he doesn’t like the bills. I enjoy being lost in a book. or diamond painting in my spare time.

Inna
My goals are to create and cultivate safe and supportive learning environments for children and their families, welcoming and supporting the adults with their questions and concerns, and building good relationships. I love working with our EarlyON families! In my spare time, I love travelling, reading books, going for long walks, spending time with my husband, 3 children and 4 grandchildren.

Jane
I am an early learning specialist at EarlyON. If a child asks, “Why is there a moon?” What is your answer? Would you reply scientifically, or would you give an age-appropriate answer? For me, I would ask him open-ended questions. In this way, I can lead him to understand that he has his own mind, own interpretation, and own ideas. I believe that all children should be inspired to discover their natural curiosity about the world around them. They have unlimited possibilities and a hundred ways of thinking, playing, and speaking. I see my role as guiding and assisting families and children as needed; being their partner, nurturer guide, researcher and co-learner. I am honoured to work with families and my team to give our future leaders the roots to grow and the love fruit to bear. In my spare time, I enjoy photographing, pruning plants, and YouTubing. photographing, pruning plants, and YouTubing.
