We are fortunate to have our lead teacher Miss Meghan, who began with us in 2011. She holds a Bachelor of Education Degree alongside a Bachelor of Arts Degree. Over the 13 years Miss Meghan has been at our Centre, she has grown our little preschool program with innovative and engaging curriculum. This has gained her 2 prestigious awards: a Provincial Award recognizing her true commitment to preschool children and families in 2015. In the Fall of 2020, Miss Meghan was awarded the Prime Minister's Award of Excellence in Teaching.
An addition to our teaching team for the Fall of 2023 (but not to our preschool) is Miss Angela, as our new Early Childhood Education Teaching Assistant. She has been working in the child care field for 25 years and received her early child care level 3 certification from Grant MacEwan. Miss Angela has spent time in our classroom in the past, working with children with identified needs, and this was a natural fit to have her join the teaching team.

The BriarPatch Family Centre recognizes that our practice is situated on Treaty 6 territory, which has long served as a traditional meeting ground, sanctuary, and corridor for the Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Métis, Dene, and Nakota Sioux communities. As a center focused on mental well-being, healing, and family support, we pay our respects to the countless First Nations, Métis, and Inuit individuals whose enduring presence and spiritual connection to this land have left an indelible imprint over centuries. We make this acknowledgment not only as a statement of respect, but also as a reaffirmation of our commitment to fostering a sense of community, inclusivity, and reconciliation within the framework of our services
