Staff Members

	Laurie Mossop is the owner and administrator. She is currently on maternity leave and therefore isn't currently acting as a classroom guide. Laurie has been working with preschool aged children for over 12 years, including 9 years as a Montessori preschool guide, both in Vancouver and in Switzerland. She has a BA from UBC, an AMI Montessori teaching certificate for 3-6 year olds, an Early Childhood Educator's certificate (ECE), as well as first aid training. She is constantly moved by the children she works with and feels privileged to be able to be part of their lives. She grew up in Vancouver and is very happy to be able to contribute something to the city in the form of a new preschool. The process of creating the school has been creative, challenging, and fulfilling for her and she looks forward every day to providing a warm and rich environment for the children at the school. In her spare time Laurie takes dance classes, goes hiking, does yoga, cooks delicious vegetarian food, and spends time with her family.

In her spare time she likes to spend time with her partner, read, bake, rock-climb, garden, and practice yoga.
