At Little Cube Montessori we believe that positive early experiences in education will inspire a life-long love of learning in children.
Ms. Kim
I have a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Manitoba, a Commercial Art Certificate and a three-year certificate in Business Management. I received my ECE license through Selkirk College with honours.
I had the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mom for many years prior to starting this preschool 11 years ago. When my daughters entered the preschool age I saw firsthand the advantages and value in a Montessori preschool for their self confidence and independence. When my eldest entered kindergarten I volunteered extensively during her primary school years. While volunteering, I realized the importance that a quality Early Childhood Education has as well as the impact that teachers have on a child’s love of learning from their very first steps into a school program.
My extensive volunteer work within my community not only awarded me with the Port Coquitlam Volunteer of the Year in 2014 but it also has inspired me to incorporate into my teachings the importance of philanthropy through volunteer work, giving back and supporting one’s community and those within it. This has led to Little Cube’s support of businesses in the community, SHARE and other programs that benefit the families and children in our community.
Outside of school I love to spoil my pets-my dog Piper and the preschool’s guinea pig Chester. I love to garden at home and in the preschool garden, and I am artistically creative. I share all three of these passions in my teachings on a daily basis. I believe that children get the most out of new experiences when they are taught with passion.
Ms. Jasmine
I received my Early Childhood Educator diploma from Ontario in 2019 and worked there as a Registered Early Childhood Educator before moving to British Columbia. I have worked in a variety of early learning programs over the past 6 years, all with different curriculums and learning philosophies.
My own personal philosophy of early learning is aligned with aspects of the Montessori approach, as it prepares children not only for kindergarten or school but for life.
I love being around children, learning with them and from them; "it gives me the ability and opportunity to make a positive impact in their lives". My favorite part of working with children is bonding with them and getting to know all their different personalities; "I enjoy exploring the environment with the children, seeing things through their eyes, and reading stories while engaging with them".
Outside of work, my partner and I are nature enthusiasts, exploring the beautiful outdoors around us every chance we get. I also like to read fiction and do brain puzzles in my free time.
Ms. Mariam
I have had a passion for working with children since 2007. I obtained my Early Childhood Educator certification in 2009 from Ridge Meadows College and have gained many years of experience teaching young children.
I firmly believe that children are capable and competent learners who thrive in a relaxed environment with developmentally appropriate activities. When children are given meaningful opportunities to master new challenges, they build self-esteem and become more confident. Working with children is an incredibly rewarding experience for me.
I have lived in Port Coquitlam for 14 years with my husband and three children. We love to hike and spend time at the beach during the summer and snowboard and ski in the winter. I am a down-to-earth, fun, and energetic person who loves to share my passion for the sciences with preschool aged children and make learning fun for them.
