Meet the Staff
Ms. Chevelle
RECE Centre Supervisor
Hi my name is Chevelle and I have been in childcare for over 10 years. I have attended both Niagara college and brock university in the early childhood education field. I have a passion to educate the littles and I am so excited to be a part of this amazing team!
Ms. Brooke
RECE & Assistant Supervisor
Hi my name is Brooke! Although im pretty new in the field, I love and appreciate all of my time spent with the children in my care! Being in the toddler room really allows my inner child to come out and we always have a blast. My favourite colour is yellow, which in a cheesy way reminds me how much I love the sun! I love all things pasta and recently competed in the Cheerleading Worlds in Orlando. I cannot wait to meet you all and welcome your children into my care with open arms!
Ms. Ashlee
Educator
Hiii I’m Ashlee or Ash-a-lee (depending on who you’re asking) I have been working with children in different settings since 2018, but I’ve been an ECA for 2 years. I currently have my child and youth care practitioner degree and my autism and behaviour science degree and will further my education into the world of ECE! I am an avid reader and in my spare time you can catch me curled up with a book, hanging out with my dog Astrid or crocheting my latest project! I love watching my littles learn, discover, make mistakes and grow and I am the most excited about the fact that I get to do that along side them. I can’t wait to watch everyone thrive and grow with Hickory Creek!
Ms. Stephanie
RECE
Hello! My name is Steph, You will see me in any classroom playing, singing, and laughing with the children. I graduated from Niagara college’s ECE program in 2020 and have loved learning and growing with the children and families I have been so lucky to work with. I have a passion for the outdoors, rain or shine I will be enjoying a variety of activities. My goal here at Hickory Creek is to create a positive and fun learning environment for every child that comes through our doors !
Ms. Jessica
RECE
Hi my name is Jessica! I am currently an RECE of 6 years and since starting at HCC I have been so excited to make connections with the children and their families. I enjoy nature walks, motorcycle rides, yoga, and meeting new people! I love seeing the smiles on the children’s faces and would like to keep that a growing trend here at Hickory.
Ms. Avalon
RECE
Hi! My name is Avalon, and I have been working with children for over 4 years. I have a wide background with an ECE diploma, Montessori diploma and have started my schooling for the Early Childhood Resource Consultant Program. Outside of work, I love to read, snuggle with my cat, and cook. I look forward to teaching your littles!
Ms. Kim
School Age RECE
Hi I’m Kim! I’m lucky enough to recently be apart of this wonderful team here at hickory creek in the school age room. With almost 8 years as an RECE and experience with children of all ages, a mom to two young boys, I can honestly say I get to wake up every day and do what I love most. On my spare time you can catch me spending time outdoors with my family, reading books and going on adventures. I’ve always naturally gravitated towards children and I cannot wait to continue to get to know every single one here at the centre.
Ms. Brandy
School Age Educator
Hi, my name is Brandy! You can find me hanging out with our school friends doing crafts, playing games and making memories. I graduated from Lauentian University with a Bachelors Degree in Psychology where my main focus of study was child and youth psychological development. I’ve been working with children ranging from 3 months to 12 years old for nearly 10 years and I now look forward to working with your children, alongside the wonderful staff at Hickory Creek!
Ms. Angela
Float
Hi, I'm Angela and I'm everyone's favorite at Hickory Creek because I'm the one that brings the lunches and snacks to all my "friends". I was a childcare provider for 19 years and retired in 2013. I came out of retirement to join this amazing, growing and thriving Childcare Centre as the Floater position. It's been a blessing and a joy spending time with these beautiful little humans in the Toddler and Pre School rooms. Before and After children brighten my mornings first thing I start my work day!
Ms. Isabelle
Resourse Consultant
Hi, my name is Isabelle and I have been working and volunteering with children for over 7 years. I’m passionate about being a part of each child’s journey. I love supporting each individual's growth and development, particularly those with diverse needs. In my free time, I enjoy going to the beach, hiking, playing volleyball, and watching Marvel movies. I am so happy to be a part of the Hickory Creek team!
