Our Team

Our Educators: Capable, Resourceful, and Engaged Learners

At Daydreams, we see children as Mighty Learners—strong, capable, and resourceful individuals. Our educators, equally capable and engaged, are committed to fostering a co-learning environment that nurtures each child’s exploration, growth, and potential.

Our team holds Early Learning and Child Care Certificates or Diplomas and is deeply committed to the FLIGHT Curriculum Framework, an approach that emphasizes the importance of a reflective, child-centered practice. Educators are either graduates or are actively engaged in MacEwan University’s FLIGHT curriculum, ensuring alignment with best practices and child development theories that respect and honor each child’s voice, ideas, and capabilities.

Our educators are lifelong learners, continuously developing their practice through collaboration, weekly planning, and professional development opportunities. We support their growth through mentorship programs and annual professional development days, empowering them to deepen their knowledge and refine their practice.

Creating inclusive, collaborative learning environments is at the heart of our philosophy. As GRIT (Getting Ready for Inclusion Today) Alumni, our educators are dedicated to fostering spaces that reflect the diversity and uniqueness of each child, ensuring that every learner feels valued, seen, and respected.

In addition to their qualifications, our educators hold certifications in Trauma-Informed Care, Brain Story, Diversity, and Health & Safety. These certifications, along with their ongoing professional development, ensure that every child’s journey is supported by a knowledgeable, compassionate, and reflective team.

At Daydreams, our educators are more than just caregivers—they are co-learners, committed to providing the highest quality care and education, ensuring that every child is empowered to explore, inquire, and thrive in an environment that celebrates their individuality and potential.

Our Work: Joy, Vitality, and Reciprocal Relationships

At Daydreams, we hold a deep belief that joy and playfulness are essential to the work we do with children and in the relationships we cultivate with one another. We view all individuals—children and adults alike—as capable, curious, and engaged learners, each with unique contributions to the learning community. Our commitment to nurturing holistic well-being is at the heart of everything we do, ensuring that all members of our community thrive.

Well-being, for us, extends beyond a simple balance of work and life. It embraces the mental, physical, emotional, environmental, and spiritual health of everyone in our community. We intentionally create a vibrant space where joy, laughter, and play are not just encouraged, but celebrated as integral to the learning process.

Relationships as the Heart of Our Practice

At Daydreams, we recognize that relationships are the foundation of learning. We understand that the quality of care and education we offer is deeply intertwined with the quality of relationships we build—with children, families, and colleagues. We are devoted to fostering relationships rooted in respect, warmth, honesty, openness, and equity, recognizing that these bonds empower everyone to learn and grow together.

Our team is diverse, professionally trained, and valued for the unique perspectives and experiences they bring to our community. Each educator is supported in their role, receiving both guidance and recognition for the crucial work they do in building relationships and inspiring children’s learning. Our educators are co-learners, guiding children through the Early Learning and FLIGHT Curriculum with attentiveness and care, while creating a rich, inclusive environment where exploration, growth, and discovery flourish.

In this vibrant community, relationships form the heart of everything we do. It is through these connections—between educators, children, and families—that learning becomes a shared experience of joy, vitality, and continuous discovery.
