October Newsletter

Date: October 16, 2019 Author: Julie Fram-Greig Categories: News

Dear Parents,

We want to send our best wishes to Samantha Gowan as she leaves us and starts her maternity leave.  We wish her all the very best and will miss her in daycare and school.  Welcome to Shirley Lefebvre who will be replacing Sam in daycare as an educator and coordinator.  Shirley comes to us with many years of daycare experience and we look forward to working with her.
