AIMEE MILLER
Early Childhood Educator Assistant
Aimee moved to Kelowna in 2012 to pursue education and an outdoor lifestyle with her family nearby. When she is not working, she is planning camping trips, hiking mountains, or splashing in a muddy pond catching frogs! She loves sharing her passion for her favorite topics since childhood including bugs, reptiles, and dinosaurs. She is excitedto explore topics through visuals and textiles, preferring to let children melt ice by hand or be a part of a science experiment rather than hoping that they accept facts at face value. She believes music and artistic expression belong in the classroom, and one of her favorite things is to see how a child approaches an art project and puts his/her own uniqueness into it!
Since she was a teenager, she has engaged with children in Church Programs, bouncy castle centres, summer camps, daycares and has cared for her own niece and nephew! She now finds joy and purpose in turning her love for giggles, hugs and knowledge into a career that can impact the young lives of others.
NISHA
Early Childhood Educator
Hi, my name is Nisha. I completed my Early childhood Education from CDI College in Montreal, Quebec. I was there for 3.5 years and then I moved to Kelowna last year in September with my husband. I chose this profession because I love to work with tiny humans. I believe kids are our future so it’s important that we grow the kids in a positive and constructive way.
I am into arts and crafts so I am always excited to use this hobby in class with the idea of it being one of the best ways to learn. In my free time I read novels, I do painting and poetry, and cooking is my passion. I am vegetarian and my favourite food is cheese chili. I love spending my time with friends and family.
