Saroj Bala

Hello Everyone,
My name is Saroj Bala. I graduated with Master’s Degree in History, as well possess a Bachelor’s Degree in Education.
Working with kids is not only my career, but my passion. My passion to work with young children motivated me to pursue a career in the early childhood education field. I can’t imagine a day going without me expressing myself through art and crafts. There are couple of hats I fill which include wife to an amazing husband and a mother of two outstanding daughters. I have not only taught many aspects, but also acquired various aspects from these little flowers.
My goal as an educator is so much more than teaching them, it’s to help them grow, which does sound cliché, but making sure these little angle’s master the way of life because they truly are the future. I believe in mutual love and respect for each other. We all bring our own personality to into the classroom, which is an astonishing way to connect, explore and learn.
I look forward to working with our future leader’s each day in and day out. I am proud to be a team member that ensure a safe, positive and fun environment for all.

Poonam Jaiswal

My name is Poonam Jaiswal. I have done my Master’s in two Languages and in Political Science. I have also done a Bachelor’s of Education. I am a certified child care supervisor/ educator level 3 by Alberta Childcare Certification. I have 10+ years of experience in teaching different age groups. It has been two years since I started working at Little Flowers Daycare. I have attended workshops, webinars, online book chats and listened to podcasts to enhance my knowledge in childcare.

It’s a great privilege to play an important role in a child’s first five vital years. It is rewarding to see a shy young child starts to smile, a child learning to tie shoe laces or putting on jackets and trying to eat by themselves; all in all, being independent with each passing day. Undoubtedly, working with young ones takes energy and enthusiasm but I get so much in return – specifically positivity and excitement of life.

I look forward to work in this field further with so much love and affection within the working environment.

I learned to understand them and I realized that each child is unique and requires different kinds of attention and care. I enjoy being with the children, as it gives me joy and satisfaction to watch them grow. Reading stories, singing rhymes and dancing with the little ones on music is part of our daily activities.
The most satisfy part of doing my job is seeing them smile and learn more knowledge about the reality of life as they try to explore themselves. I will never get tired of spending time with them, because their smiles put smiles on my face.
