Eleanor Vandergaag is the Assistant Teacher for our three year old classes. She is a fully certified Early Childhood Educator.

Her previous experience included over 20 years of teaching at a preschool in Squamish. There she co-taught a variety of classes for three and four year olds as well as parent and toddler classes.

Eleanor believes in a play-based preschool philosophy and she sees the positive effects that parent participation can make in the lives of children. She looks forward to working with the preschool families.
