"Miss Karen" - I am a mother of three children and five grandchildren. I have 30 years experience as an Early Childhood Educator working in the field. I believe that investing in children during the early learning stages is vital to building strong, confident individuals. Supporting families to meet everyday challenges and taking the time to be present in a child's life is fundamental and the most important gifts you can provide. I look forward to building a strong foundation with parents and children here at the Osoyoos Child Care Centre.
