Ms. Jane - RECE, SSW & Supervisor
Our supervising educator at Mother Goose is Ms. Jane. She holds an Honours Degree in Early Childhood Education and Social Work, and brings over 35 years of experience as a passionate child advocate. Ms. Jane has held supervisory roles in various childcare centres, and has been a cherished part of the Mother Goose community since 2005. She offers a kind and gentle presence in the preschool and is deeply committed to partnering with parents and children to create a meaningful and joyful early learning experience.
Thoughts on the classroom and early learning:
"I am inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, and as such, I see the classroom environment, careful observation, pedagogical documentation, joyful expression, and nature-based provocations as essential parts of the learning process.
My goals for the children are not focused on academics in the traditional sense. I believe academic concepts at this age are best discovered through play—and there will be plenty of that! I strive to nurture empathy, love, compassion, cooperation, and honesty. My primary aim is to ensure each child feels safe and deeply loved. With this foundation, children are free to explore, connect, and learn.
Together with the children, we engage in classroom decision-making and provide opportunities for them to participate in learning experiences that reflect their interests. Our program strikes a balance between structure and spontaneity, allowing children the space to grow at their own pace, in their own way.
Our beloved Supply Support Teachers; Ms India, Ms Kaia and Ms Natalie
Ms. India has been a valued member of the Mother Goose team for over five years. A graduate of McMaster University and a recent graduate of the University of Toronto, she holds a Master of Arts in Child Study & Education and is an Ontario Certified Teacher (OCT). Her passion for early childhood education shines through in everything she does. Ms. India brings a warm, caring presence to the classroom, and children are naturally drawn to her gentle, friendly nature. She has a special gift for connecting with each child.
Ms. Kaia brings over 10 years of experience as a private childcare provider, creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children can thrive. She earned an Honours degree from Wilfrid Laurier University with a minor in Indigenous Studies. Known for her warm, patient approach, Ms. Kaia excels at building meaningful one-on-one connections with children, helping each child feel supported, valued, and confident as they learn and grow.
Ms. Natalie began her Mother Goose journey as an Early Childhood Education student whose passion, professionalism, and natural talent immediately stood out. We were so impressed that we welcomed her to our team as a supply educator right away. Today, she is cherished for her thoughtful observations and ability to transform children's interests into meaningful, engaging provocations.
The children say it best:
“I like Ms. Jane because she gives us so much love”
“She hugs me”
"Because I love her, I want to tell her everything"
"I just like her. I love her"
Parents respond:
"Ms. Jane was excellent. She has a very calming and structured approach with the children (and the parents). You can tell she clearly cares for the children, and this comes across in how she interacts with them. We feel like she truly appreciates our child for who she is. She also understands the 'theory' of early childhood learning and how to apply it."
"I've learned so much from these two amazing teachers. I had no idea my daughter was capable of such independence and creativity. I have become a better parent after watching them in the classroom and listening to their helpful advice. This school does amazing things!"
"Thank you for your year long patience!!"
