Joanne, RECE (no photo available)

My name is Joanne. I graduated from Conestoga College with a diploma in Early Childhood Education in April 2012. I started working at CCCCG in June 2014 as a supply staff and then in September 2014 I began working regular hours: first as a teaching assistant and then as a full time staff. Prior to working at CCCCG, I spent a fair amount of time supplying in various child care centres in Guelph and Waterloo, and I have also had a few short term contract positions as well. Through working with a variety of age groups, I have discovered a love, specifically, for the toddler age group. So I am very excited to be working with toddlers now. They each have unique ways of looking at the world. I am often amazed at what children say when questions are posed to them; they often surprise me with the connections that they make through their experiences. I enjoy getting to know each of the children individually and finding ways of connecting with them. I am looking forward to continually learning from the children and helping to facilitate their learning.

My name is Mary Jane Visser.
