Laura

Hello, my name is Laura. I have been working at Created 4 Me Early Learning Centre since August 2013, I am so proud of our team and to be a part of the wonderful group of educators here.

I started working in childcare when I was 18 years old. The moment I started in this field I knew this would be my career. I absolutely love watching children learn and grow each day. I am so proud to be a part of helping shape each child's young mind. I graduated from Red River College April (2013) with my Early Childhood Education Certificate. After a very short break from school (one week) I enrolled in University to begin working on my ECE level 3. In 2018 I graduated with my Advanced Diploma in Leapership in Early Childhood Care and Education (ECE III) from the University of Winnipeg.

The community of East. St. Paul is very special to me, as I grew up here. This community will always be my home and I have so much joy in working with the next generation of this community. Biking down these streets, exploring in the back field and playing at the play structure in this very location are some things that are all too familiar to me. So it is an absolute joy for me to be involved with Created 4 Me and remain a part of this community daily.

I am very passionate about children learning though play. I believe by allowing children to play and explore we are providing them with the tools and skills they need to learn and be successful in life. By extending and expanding their play we can teach social,emotional, physical and cognitive skills. I feel that Early Childhood Educators are an essential role in providing children with the skills and knowledge they need to shape their minds for life long learning. When children are allowed to participate in successful play they are able to promote their physial health, gain indepenance, learn literacy and early math skills, work on peer and social skills and interactions as well as understand their bodies emotionally and behavioural benefits. All while building their imaginations and creativity. Early Childhood Education sets children up for life long learning and success. By allowing children to play at a young age we help them prepare their minds and bodies for future education.
