Ms Lisa

Credentials: Early Childhood Educator Level 2

Other childcare certificates: Childcare first aid,  Low arousal training, Brain Story Certification

Years of experience in childcare: Over 10, directly in various preschool programs!

Favourite part of being a teacher: The students! I love interacting with them and learning with them and seeing them grow inside and out!

Funniest thing a student has ever said to you: “Wait…you’re a mom? I didn’t know teachers could be moms too!!”

Favourite part of the school year: I love Spring when things outside start to grow and we have so many fun crafts and activities about nature and animals and we can take the classroom outside more!

What you love to do in your spare time: I love to read, camp, travel and spend time with my family outdoors.

Something neat about yourself: My husband and I spent 7 years living in Mexico which is where both of our children were born.

Ms Zuzana

Hi! My name is Zuzana, and I am excited to be part of the Montgomery Community Preschool. I have over eighteen years of childcare experience and I am also the mother of two children aged eight and eleven. Since an early age I fell in love with taking care of children. Through babysitting, being an Au-pair, Live-in caregiver, early childhood caregiver and a parent, I have learned, that teaching is my passion. I love when I share experience, learn, teach, play, explore and use creativity in a children’s environment. I enjoy what I do, and I am very passionate about helping each child as much as possible. 

I hold Alberta Early Childhood Educator Diploma (Level 3), First Aid & CPR Certification, Alberta Health and Safety Basics for Child Care Providers, Alberta Food Safety Basics, Fairy Dust Teaching Certificate (Reggio Emilia)

In my free time I love to travel, hike, cook, do abstract paining and spend time with my family. 

Fun fact: I was born in Slovakia, and I have travelled abroad in my early 20’s, spent couple of years working and travelling through USA and then came to Canada in 2011. I speak Slovak, Czech and little bit of German.
