Program Director / Owner
Annie was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario. She completed her Bachelors in Environmental Studies at the University of Waterloo prior to moving to Calgary in 2015. She will also be completing a Master of Science from the University of Calgary in December 2018.
Annie has always been interested in childcare and education. She has previously worked at the Kumon Learning Centre, Toronto District School Board, and shortly volunteered at Happy Valley Daycare. Professionally, Annie has also worked as Microbiology Research Technician at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. Annie has diverse work experiences in childcare and outside of childcare, however, she always found herself drawn to this industry. On her spare time, she volunteers as a Sunday school teacher (ages 2-10) at her church and she has also volunteered as a camp leader for 9 consecutive summers on the Six Nations reserve in Ontario. Outside of the daycare, you can find Annie either playing volleyball, in the mountains, or napping on her couch.

Amber is the baby of the team but has a big heart for kids. Being so young, she has acquired many experiences in childcare through volunteering for her church, baby sitting and summer camps. Amber brings a warm and calm demeanor to the group and helps bring down our average age. Amber is currently finishing her Child Development Level 1. Over the many years at Little Roots, Amber has consistently grown her passion for kids and is now continuing her education in early childhood development. She supports the Little Team as a sub and as a practicum student.
Jeehae finished studying Early childhood education in Korea and has worked in Korea, China, and Halifax for more than 10 years. She also has volunteered since high school at Sunday school.
Jeehae enjoys being around children because they are just so adorable and love seeing the silly things they do. She always think Love is the most important when I care for people, especially kids.She believes that love can fill their heart and develop their mind and that is why she wants to pour her love into kids so that they can grow up as people who believe in themselves and share this love with others.
I’m Liz and my family and I just recently moved to Calgary from Philippines. I am a proud and hands on mother of 3
adorable and energetic boys. I love spending time with my family, and I enjoy doing different activities with them such as travelling, baking, playing outside, doing arts and
crafts and many more.
I believe that my kids will only get one childhood and it is my job to make it a memorable one. Teaching kids has always been my passion. I make learning fun by being creative with the activities that I do with babies and kids. I enjoy seeing them grow and it makes me happy to watch them learn new things and develop.
I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Guidance and Counseling. I also have a Master’s in Counseling. I already completed my Alberta Level 1 Early
Childhood Certification as well.
I have always had a heart for children for as long as I can remember. I have always found joy in babysitting and watching kids grow from little babies into smart, independent, children.
My love for that really flourished when my niece was born and I had the pleasure of watching her develop into such a kind, gentle young girl. In my spare time, I am at my church volunteering in the nursery and as a youth leader, out hiking in the mountains with my dog, or catching the occasional movie or two at the theatre!
I am so excited to start at Little Roots and meet all of you and your children. My goal is to provide a safe space for your children to learn and develop while being there to guide them.
After completing my bachelor's and master's degrees in art in Korea, I gained valuable experience as a kindergarten teacher.
Upon moving to Canada, I started my journey in childcare by volunteering at a daycare in Edmonton. Over the past decade, I've witnessed the remarkable capabilities of children, reinforcing my strong belief in their potential as mighty learners. I look forward to the surprises and growth that each child at Little Roots will bring, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to contribute to their educational journey.
I’m a passionate childcare worker with a deep love for nurturing young minds. My journey began as a practicum student, where I developed hands-on experience and a strong commitment to helping children grow and thrive. Now, as I work part-time at Little Roots while pursuing my bachelor’s degree in child studies, I continue to learn and grow my skills every day.
Having grown up with younger siblings who inspired my love for working with children, I understand the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment where kids can explore, learn, and build confidence.
When I’m not working or studying, I enjoy spending my days off with family or friends, usually at the movie theater or at church events! Cherishing those meaningful connections that motivate me to bring the same sense of care and community to my work.
Ashley is one of the youngest team members who brings a fresh perspective, boundless energy, and a genuine passion for childcare, consistently demonstrating her ability to create nurturing, engaging, and supportive environments that foster the growth and development of children.
She is currently completing her Level 3 in Early Childhood Education at Mount Royal University, with an ambitious goal to become an Occupational Therapist specializing in working with children.
Outside of her studies and work, Ashley enjoys skateboarding, spending quality time with friends, and retreating to the mountains, where she finds inspiration and balance through outdoor adventures.
My name is Katherine, I have been in the field of education since 2018. My background in psychology and child care, helped me equip myself to support children’s growth and development, and to see beyond the surface. I also volunteered at our local church Sunday school for over 6 years which I thoroughly enjoyed!
I’m passionate about making learning engaging and fun; I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment to help children thrive and reach their full potential.
In my spare time I like to hand-letter and paint. I also enjoy cooking, but most of all I love to sleep! :)

Our daycare pup, Eevee, has been with the kids since she was just 8 weeks old. She is now 2.5 years old and loves them as much as the kids loves her.
Eevee is Annie & Kevin's dog-hter. She comes for random visits and always puts a smile on the kids' faces. She patiently allows the kids to poke and prod her as they please. The only thing she requires in exchange for her services is some belly scratches from the parents.
