RECE Centre Supervisor
Hello! My name is Chevelle and I have been with Creek Childcare since 2023. I have been in childcare for 15 years and as a mother of 2, I love to be surrounded by children! I have attended both Brock University and Niagara College in the early childhood education field, so I have the passion to help develop those little minds while mentoring other ECEs along the way. My door is always open so come say hi or stop me in the halls, I am always here for your child’s early education, and it is a pleasure being a part of all your lives.

Hi I’m Kim! I’m lucky enough to recently be apart of this wonderful team here at hickory creek in the school age room. With almost 8 years as an RECE and experience with children of all ages, a mom to two young boys, I can honestly say I get to wake up every day and do what I love most. On my spare time you can catch me spending time outdoors with my family, reading books and going on adventures. I’ve always naturally gravitated towards children and I cannot wait to continue to get to know every single one here at the centre.

Fun fact: Miss Brooke and I once sat on a real-life alligator! Talk about a wild memory! Everyday here at Hickory Creek feels like its own kind of adventure, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world!
