I have over 15 years of experience with children 5 and under. I hold a valid Emergency childcare first aid certificate and criminal record check. I am a member of the Southern Vancouver Island Family Childcare Association, BC Family childcare association and Childcare resource and referral. I attend monthly meetings and yearly weekend conferences on Vancouver Island and Vancouver to further my education. I believe in creating a safe and nurturing environment that supports all aspects of early learning. I offer outdoor play, walks, art, circle time, free play, fine and gross motor, dramatic play and more! Painted Turtle provides an atmosphere that encourages curiosity exploration and learning. Please contact us if you have any questions or to book a tour.
