Children are rich with wonder, knowledge and curiosity and the teachers at Little Willows know we have just as much to learn from them as they do from us. Our roles as teachers in a Reggio Emilia inspired childcare setting is to observe and really listen to the children and provide them with opportunities to explore their interests further
Myra Johnson- Director of Operations
My name is Myra Johnson and I am the Director of Operations.
I completed the Early Childhood Education program in 1999 and have been in the field ever since. I completed the Infant Toddler program in 2008. Over the years I have worked with children from 6 months to 11 years; as an educator, supervisor, manager and coordinator. I have been with Little Willows since 2016 and I am passionate and committed to working with young children and look forward to making great memories with the families here.I live in a float home community on the Fraser River with my husband and dogs. We enjoy traveling the world, fishing and camping!
Deanna Zaharoff- Area Director
I am an Early Childhood Educator with my Special Needs Diploma. I began working in the childcare field in 2013 in New Zealand where I had the chance to work in a Reggio Emilia center. I am passionate about learning through hands on activities and enjoy making messy art and science experiments which the children have the chance to be fully involved in. I look forward to meeting everyone and embarking on this new adventure together!
