Our Leadership Team
Our Team is dedicated to supporting the vision, values, and cultural foundation of our Cree Aboriginal Head Start program. Each team member brings a wealth of experience in early childhood education, leadership, and community engagement. Together, we work to ensure that our program provides a safe, nurturing, and culturally grounded environment where children, families, and staff can thrive. Rooted in Cree teachings and guided by collaboration, our team is committed to fostering growth, strengthening relationships, and honoring the Indigenous knowledge that shapes our work every day.
Our Head Start program aims to strengthen and prepare Aboriginal children ages 3 - 5 years of age with the necessary school-readiness skills and cultural foundation to enter mainstream schools on an equal basis with all other children in a positive, fun, stimulating, and respectful learning environment. Our main program philosophy is “Learning Through Play”.
