Erin
Lead Infant and Toddler Teacher

My name is Erin Fox, and I was born and raised in the beautiful Lower Mainland of British Columbia. I’m not only an educator but also a wife and mom. My family and I love spending time together playing games, biking, swimming, hiking, and camping. My 14-year-old son is passionate about Brazilian jiu-jitsu and kickboxing and competes a few times a year, while my 11-year-old daughter is my little mini-me who adores babies, singing, and aerial silks.

I’ve been in the Early Childhood Education field for over 16 years, focusing primarily on Infant and Toddler care. Growing up, I always wanted to be two things: a mom and a teacher. I fell in love with Early Childhood Education because it’s not just a career I’m passionate about, but one that allowed me to share those early years with my own children. Some of my favourite experiences with the children I teach include circle time, exploratory art, sensory projects, and time spent in nature.

One of my favourite quotes is by Theaetetus: “There is no other beginning of learning than wonder.” This speaks deeply to me, as I believe wonder and curiosity are some of the most powerful qualities we can nurture in children to inspire a lifelong love of learning. I feel truly honoured to care for, love, teach, and guide young children through the most formative years of their lives.

Kimberly
White Rock Manager
My name is Kim, and I’m the manager at Pebble Lane White Rock. I’ve been an Early Childhood Educator for 15 years, and I’m currently continuing my studies in Infant/Toddler and Special Needs Education.

My teaching philosophy is deeply inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, with a strong focus on learning through play. I love creating hands-on, interest-based learning experiences that spark curiosity and discovery in children. Some of my favorite areas to teach are circle time and science, where we can explore, experiment, and create together.

I’m also a mom to two young children, and on weekends, we enjoy going on nature walks, playing and listening to music, and cooking or baking as a family.

I’m excited to get to know all of you and to help create a warm, welcoming space for creativity, connection, and learning here at Pebble Lane!

Karli
Lead Early Learning Teacher

Hi, I’m Karli. I have been working here for over four years and absolutely love all the parents and children I have met thus far.

I have sixteen years of work experience beginning as a nanny and teaching a variety of children’s programs. I was a preschool teacher for 7 years, which was a great growing opportunity for me in a classroom setting. I taught Junior Kindergarten but I was looking for a less structured, more Reggio play based program, which is how I ended up at Pebble Lane.

Something I am really passionate about is cooking with children. For the past 15 years I have dedicated my Saturday mornings to teaching a 3-5 program at the YMCA called Little Chefs. I really enjoy cooking and instilling that same wonder and enjoyment in children. I do not have any children of my own however I am a godmother to my niece and nephew, whom I am very lucky to see on a regular basis. In my spare time I love going on outdoor adventures and finding new places to explore with my dog Kaida. I also grew up as a dancer and love to dance whenever I get the opportunity.

I currently hold my ECE License to Practice, current First Aid and have completed my course work in Infant /Toddler however I still need to complete my practicums.

Alida
Infant and Toddler Teacher

My name is Alida Callard and I have been teaching in the early childhood education field for almost 20 years.

I knew from a young teaching age that, for me, bond and connection were the keys to creating an emotionally safe environment where each child could express their authentic self. That through play, engagement, and genuine interest in what our children are excited about; that they are then able to be successful as they learn, grow and thrive.

All you need is love. Love is all you need. And yes! I am almost always singing. I do remind myself though that quiet and calm can provide what is needed as well 🙂 Balance is important just as it is important to know each individual child and how best to approach their individual needs in different moments.

My next core foundation is language. Whether it is sign language, words, or both combined there is an immense excitement experienced when children learn how to express themselves and self-advocate. Whether it be to share a feeling they recognize, ask a friend to play or to ask for their favorite song, it has always held magic for me.

I am thrilled that you are considering or have chosen us here at Pebble Lane for these early years of learning and look forward to meeting you!

Rachel
Lead Infant and Toddler Teacher

Hello! My name is Rachel, and I am one of the teachers at Pebble Lane Early Learning. I have been surrounded by children of all ages my entire life and have always felt a pull to do something in the field of early childhood education. I have been an early childhood educator for ten years.

Currently, I am pursuing my infant and toddler certification, which reflects my dedication to continually enhancing my skills and knowledge. I believe that each child is unique, and I strive to create a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment where they can thrive. Witnessing children reach milestones and make new discoveries brings me immense joy and fulfillment.

At Pebble Lane Early Learning, I look forward to building meaningful relationships with all children, parents, and caregivers. I’m excited to embark on this journey with you and your little ones!

Siri
South Surrey Manager
Hi there! I’m Mrs. Siri! I’ve been in the Early Childhood Education field for 18 amazing years, and I truly love what I do! Helping little ones learn, grow, and discover the world around them is my greatest passion. I’m also a proud mama of two wonderful kiddos, and being a mom has deepened my love for nurturing and supporting children every step of the way.

I believe strongly in a holistic approach to each child’s development—honoring their physical, emotional, social, and cognitive needs—and I ground my teaching in attachment theory, building warm, secure relationships that empower children to explore confidently.

When I’m not in the classroom, you’ll probably find me soaking up the sun at the beach, off on a fun adventure, or spending time with my favorite people—my family! I’m so excited to get to know you and your little one. We’re going to have a fantastic time learning and growing together!

Rochelle
Lead Early Learning Teacher

My name is Rochelle Davis, and I am a passionate individual who followed their heart into the realm of Early Childhood Education (ECE). With a deep love for children and a genuine joy in studies, I embarked on a journey to understand and nurture young minds. My dedication led me to delve deeper into specialized areas, focusing on Infants and Toddlers, as well as Special Needs education. Driven by the motto that “every child is unique, and I will find a unique way of teaching them,” I strive to uncover the individuality of each child I encounter, knowing that within that uniqueness lies the key to effective teaching and learning. With a commitment to finding creative and tailored approaches to education, I am not just an educator but a compassionate guide, helping each child flourish in their own special way. 

Outside of teaching, I find joy in exploring new places and indulging in diverse cuisines. I enjoy in binge-watching series and movies for entertainment, relishing in captivating stories and characters. Additionally, I enjoy the experience of shopping and enjoy expressing my creativity in drawing. Where I express my creativity and culinary skills the most is in the kitchen, creating delightful dishes to share with loved ones. 

Oksana
Early Learning Teacher

After arriving in Canada in the summer of 2022 I had to start all over again. By happy coincidence my first job was a Child care supervisor and helper.  I got my Responsible Adult Certificate, and First Aid Certificate as well and worked there for two years. And so began my journey in the Early Childhood Education.

After a while, I decided to move forward with my education and completed a course Early Childhood Education Assistant. It gave me the opportunity to get a new job. Even though I have been working here for a very short period of time, I am happy to be a part of this team.

A couple facts about me. I am originally from Ukraine. I speak fluent Ukrainian and Russian. I have a Masters degree in “Publishing and Editing”. I am an editor.

I have two daughters whom I adore. The older daughter is 20 years old. She is a university student. My younger daughter is 11 years old. My kids are the best thing that could have happened to me.

My passion is baking cakes, variety desserts, and pies. I am not a professional, I do it for my family. I can spend a lot of time in making and decorating cakes.

Also, when I have the strength of free time, I like to spend it with a book.

Andrea
Early Learning Teacher
I’m a mother of two grown children, a son and a daughter. I began my career as a parent volunteer in my sons preschool, and that is where my passion for teaching children began.

I became an Early Childhood Educator 28 years ago, beginning working at the Surrey Immigration Centre for 6 years, teaching non-English speaking children. I taught preschool for 12 years, then a daycare for 10 years.

A few of the teaching methods that I like to use are music, art and Fun Family Phonics. I strongly believe in open ended and creative art as a way for children to express themselves. My love of teaching and watching the children learn and develop their own personality and skills motivates me every day. I have worked with children from many different cultures and languages and have learned to connect with each child’s individual needs.

In my free time I enjoy spending time outdoors and I really love to paint. I am looking forward to meeting all of the parents and children. My motto is “When you believe in what you do, it never feels like work.”

Sara
Support Teacher

I recently completed my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and have always been passionate about supporting children’s growth and well-being. I began my journey by volunteering at a daycare, when I was a kid myself, where I discovered the joy of helping children feel safe, understood, as well as supported.

In June of 2024, I started working as a Behavioural Interventionist, primarily supporting children on the autism spectrum. I like to be able to help children build essential skills such as communication, emotional regulation, as well as daily living through personalized, play-based strategies. I feel as though it is incredibly fulfilling to be part of their developmental journey and to help create a strong foundation for their future.

I believe every child deserves to be seen and supported as their unique self. My goal is to create a calm, encouraging environment where children feel confident to explore and grow at their own pace.

In my free time, I love to unwind by watching movies and expressing myself through drawing. These hobbies allow me to relax, tap into my creativity, and enjoy quiet moments of reflection.

Yang
Support Teacher

With three years of early childhood education experience in my home country and learning in psychology, I have gained a deep understanding of children’s developmental needs. Since moving to Canada, I have continued my dedication to supporting children with autism and their families as a Childcare Provider. I develop personalized care plans that celebrate each child’s unique strengths, fostering emotional growth, confidence, communication, and social adaptability. My approach also focuses on helping children build resilience, empowering them to navigate challenges and thrive in various environments.

I feel fortunate to have a wonderful family—my husband and our 11 years old daughter. I’m also passionate about giving back to the White Rock community, where I volunteer at church every week. Just as I cherish my own family and community, I am committed to treating every child at Pebble Lane with the same love and care, as if they were part of my own family.

For me, working with children isn’t just a profession—it’s a calling. I am dedicated to helping every child reach their full potential, and I am honored to be part of their journey!

Hello, my name is Christine and I am very excited to be joining the team at Pebble Lane Early Learning in Whiterock. I have been working in the Early Childhood field for over twenty years, predominantly within Preschool settings. Working with children continues to provide me with joy and purpose each day. I love watching children blossom, absorbing the world around them, and listening to their ideas and experiences.

I believe children learn through play, and over the years, I have developed an Eclectic philosophy towards teaching, always thriving to maintain an emphasis on meeting the individual needs of each child. I focus on providing a nurturing and safe environment fostering development in all areas of learning: socially, physically, intellectually, creatively and emotionally.

Throughout my career, with my Bachelor’s degree, I had the privilege of being an ECE College Instructor for several years. I enjoyed, immensely, teaching and mentoring upcoming educators in this field. In addition, I have conducted workshops for professional development in person and online with my own website which I operated for ten years. 

My husband, son and I moved to South Surrey five years ago, and after the long commute to Vancouver for work, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to fully embrace this beautiful community.

I am excited to continue my journey as an Early Childhood Educator with the younger age groups. I earned my ECE diploma in Ontario and recently moved to BC a year ago. Since then, I have enjoyed the change of pace, abundance of trees and getting to know the community.

In my spare time I love attending live shows, playing tennis and discovering new trails. I’ve started this year with Pebble Lane and had the opportunity to float around our rooms, getting to know all our bright and beautiful children and staff. It has been my pleasure playing, exploring and learning as you’ve entrusted us with your precious little ones.

Clara
Infant and Toddler Teacher
I am originally from Korea and moved to Canada when I was young. I completed Early Childhood Education at the National Institute for Lifelong Education and have ECE certification and Infant & Toddler Care certification. When I was staying in Korea for a few years, I worked as a special English and art teacher at a daycare center for about 1 year. I am new in this field. However, it was a great experience, and I enjoyed teaching and caring for children with love so I am very excited to meet many adorable children at Pebble Lane!

When I’m not at work, I enjoy drawing, painting and creating. Also, I like to visit many cities and countries to learn about different cultures and get artistic inspiration. I loved and still love art a lot. My first major was art, and I believe that art is an essential tool that can give humans a sense of psychological and physical stability.

I truly value nurturing and supportive environments where children can learn, grow and thrive. I sincerely hope that there will be an opportunity to inspire and encourage each child in my care.
