My name is Julia, and I’ve been working in the same program just over two years now. I am currently back in school at Thompson Rivers University completing a post diploma program. The program’s focus is inclusion in early learning centres. In the Special Needs Education Program, I will expand my knowledge of diversities within an early years space.

The program runs from January until the beginning April.

I began my journey in child care in August of 2019, and have continued to fall in love with the career I’ve chosen. This career allows me to enjoy things like art, writing, dancing, singing and creating alongside the busy minds of children.

Children are capable of great things. When educators take the time to get to know a child and their family, it allows the centre to evolve and shape curriculum in ways that interest the child.
