School Highlights

Curious Children

The program at Strathcona Nursery School is based on the theory that children learn through play.  This recognizes that young children learn through active involvement and meaningful experimentation.  It also recognizes early childhood as a period where children should be provided the opportunity to gain independence through initiative, creativity, decision-making and problem solving, all of which help them to develop the ability to relate to others and feel good about themselves.

Our Mission

"Empowering our children to become mighty learners through  play."


The focus of the nursery school is not on structure or academics, but on personal development and socialization.  Activities are planned which allow the children to make choices, problem solve and be creative.  Art activities are often open-ended and the children are free to create as they desire, emphasizing the process rather than the product and therefore fostering a sense of accomplishment and pride.

She has a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with a minor in French Language and Literature. She is a Certified Child Development Supervisor, and is fluent in 3 languages (French, English and Spanish). She has had 20 years of experience working with children and families in various settings such as daycare, day camp, tutoring, and within the Edmonton Public School system as an Educational Assistant. 13 years ago she started working with Teacher Mitzi at the nursery school and has found her to be a great resource and mentor.
