Rural Roots; Confident Kids
Meet the Staff:
L. Erin Jensen (Miss Erin), Owner/Operator, Director, Preschool Teacher
Erin began her career with a diploma in nursing as a Licensed Practical Nurse in acute care (medical/surgical and pediatric units in Calgary hospitals) as well in in education as a teacher for the nursing and Health Care Aide programs in post-secondary institutions.
After the birth of her second child, she found an increasing need for child care in the community. Having been raised by an ECE, she found this a natural transition from nursing and began the process of opening this facility.
Miss Erin graduated from Red Deer College with her diploma in Early Learning and Child Care in December 2019.
Miss Erin is currently working hard to expand our child care reach to in need rural communities through our Day Home Agency and community consultations across Alberta. She is also a rural acute and emergency department nurse for Alberta Health Services.
Alexandrea Fuselli (Miss Alex), Preschool Teacher
Miss Alex comes to us as a student of Education. While she earns her bachelor's degree, she is planning to soak up all the appreciation and experience we have to offer. Miss Alex wants to teach at an elementary level (eventually) and is loving the early childhood pedagogy.
Miss Alex is looking forward to settling in and starting her family in our community and we look forward to the years to come!
Katielee Heilman (Miss Katie), Child Development Assistant
Miss Katie has been a patron of CKCC since her own boys were in diapers. As a young mother, she has learned the value and importance of hard work and living a full life.
We are so grateful that this wonderful woman has decided to start her ECE career with us and look forward to growing together.
Ashton Mavor (Miss Ashton), Child Development Assistant
Miss Ashton is a young local who aspires to a career in education. We are very excited to see how her skills develop in her time with us!
Riley Armstrong (Miss Riley), Child Development Assistant
Miss RIley is an Bachelor of Arts student attending the University of Lethbridge. Her focus will be elementary education. She will be with us in the daycare and preschool programs in between semesters.
We are eager to see what unfolds for this young woman as she embarks on this wonderful adventure!
