"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.

Infant & Toddler Program Staff
"Miss Liz" - Hello! I am Miss Liz! I grew up here in sunny Osoyoos and did my high school work experience here at the Osoyoos Child Care Centre in 2014, I loved and looked forward to seeing the staff and children everyday! I am an 2016 Okanagan College graduate; trained Early Childhood Educator, Special Needs and Infant & Toddler Educator passionate about teaching young children. I love that anything can be made into a learning experience and the fact that everyone takes in information differently, children really are amazing and can teach each other and adults so much! I am extremely grateful to be working in the Infant and Toddler room, it is rewarding watching the children explore, learn, master and grow.

"Miss Annalisa" - Hi! I'm Annalisa, I was born and raised in Keremeos. I am the oldest of four siblings and have always loved children. I moved to Kelowna in 2010 to take my ECE course at Okanagan College. I worked at a daycare in Kelowna with Infants and Toddlers for 7.5 years and my husband and I moved back to Keremeos this past summer. I am loving being back in my hometown and near family! I believe that we as adults learn just as much, if not more, from children as they do from us. I believe in being a supportive role model and in providing an environment for children to play, explore, grow and learn.
