Sherri-Lynn Hamilton ECE IT
My name is Sherri and I am the founding manager of Little Scholars Child Care.
I love to create enthusiastic learning environments that facilitate happy fun filled activities for the children.
I have 34 years experience teaching in kindergarten, school-age, pre-school and infant toddler programs. Since opening Little Scholars in 1997 I have had plenty of opportunities to use and improve communication skills, analytical and problem solving skills, supervisory skills, stress managment skills, teaching skills, listening skills and of course the skill of working with and loving the children and their families.
I received my Early Childhood Education certificate at Northern Lights University, my Infant Toddler certificate at Capilano University and my Licence to Practice in the year 2000.
My husband, William and I now have a quiet home as our two sons have grown and now have families of their own. Both our sons are married with three children. Our most memorable times are spent with family. I love children and I feel so blessed to be still working with the little ones at our child care.
I have to say at Little Scholars we have a great group of fully qualified and caring teachers. This in turn creates a great learning environment for the wonderful children entrusted in our care.
