Kampus Kids Early Learning Centre

After 40 years of extraordinary leadership, dedication, and care at Kampus Kids Early Learning Centre, we announce the retirement of our Executive Director, Jill McInroy, effective June 30, 2026.
Since the very opening of Kampus Kids, Jill has been the heart of our centre. For four decades, she has helped shape a nurturing and welcoming environment where countless children have learned, grown, and thrived. Her commitment to Early Childhood Education , her support for families, and her guidance of staff have left a lasting impact on our community that cannot be overstated.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, staff, families, and all those whose lives have been touched by Kampus Kids over the years, we extend our deepest gratitude to Jill for her remarkable service and unwavering dedication. We wish her a retirement filled with joy, relaxation, and many well-deserved new adventures. As we celebrate Jill's incredible legacy, we are also excited to announce that Shannon Carkner will be stepping into the role of Executive Director. Shannon brings many years of experience from her role as Assistant Director at Kampus Kids and has been an integral part of the centre's leadership team. Her passion for early learning, strong relationships with staff and families, and deep understanding of the values and culture of Kampus Kids make her a wonderful choice to lead the centre into its next chapter.
Please join us in thanking Jill for her outstanding 40 years of service and in warmly welcoming Shannon into her new role as Executive Director. Sincerely, Kampus Kids Board of Directors
