Meet the Staff
Ms. Chevelle
RECE Centre Supervisor
Hi my name is Chevelle and I have been in childcare for over 10 years. I have attended both Niagara college and brock university in the early childhood education field. I have a passion to educate the littles and I am so excited to be a part of this amazing team!
Ms. Kim
School Age RECE
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. I’m also very blessed to be able to call all these wonderful ladies my new coworkers.
Ms. Brooke
RECE & Assistant Supervisor
Hi my name is Brooke! Although im pretty new in the field, I love and appreciate all of my time spent with the children in my care! Being in the toddler room really allows my inner child to come out and we always have a blast. My favourite colour is yellow, which in a cheesy way reminds me how much I love the sun! I love all things pasta and recently competed in the Cheerleading Worlds in Orlando, Florida this past April! I cannot wait to meet you all and welcome your children into my care with open arms!

Ms. Jessica
RECE
Hi my name is Jessica and I am a new member of Hickory Creek staff! I am currently the RECE in the toddler room and I am so excited to make connections with the children and their families. I enjoy nature walks, motorcycle rides, yoga, and meeting new people! I love seeing the smiles on the children’s faces and would like to keep that a growing trend here at Hickory.
Ms. Celine
School Age RECE
I am a Mom of two wonderful boys and I have been working as an Early Childhood Educator for 10+years. I am really excited to be a part of the Hickory Creek team and I am looking forward to getting to know all the wonderful families who are a part of our centre.
Ms. Angela
Float Coverage
Hi, I'm Angela and I'm everyone's favorite at Hickory Creek because I'm the one that brings the lunches and snacks to all my "friends". I was a childcare provider for 19 years and retired in 2013. I came out of retirement to join this amazing, growing and thriving Childcare Centre as the Floater position. It's been a blessing and a joy spending time with these beautiful little humans in the Toddler and Pre School rooms. Before and After children brighten my mornings first thing I start my work day!
Ms. Ashlee
ECA
Hiii I’m Ashlee or Ash-a-lee (depending on who you’re asking) I have been working with children in different settings since 2018, but I’ve been an ECA for 2 years. I currently have my child and youth care practitioner degree and my autism and behaviour science degree, but I’m attending school to further extend my education in January of 2025 into the world of ECE! I am an avid reader and in my spare time you can catch me curled up with a book, hanging out with my dog Astrid or crocheting my latest project! I love watching my littles learn, discover, make mistakes and grow and I am the most excited about the fact that I get to do that along side them. I can’t wait to watch everyone thrive and grow with Hickory Creek!
