Hello! Name is Miss Emma! I have owned and operated Carousel since 2004. I'm married and have 3 adult children, one being neurodivergent. This gives me a lot of hands on experience and knowledge with caring and nurturing children children who may deal with similar circumstances. I was very involved with my son's baseball. I was registrar for Beacon Hill little league for several years. Go BLUEJAYS!
Danielle Adye
Owner/Lead Educator/ECEA
Hello! I'm Miss Danielle, and am the Lead Educator. I have my ECE with eighteen years of experience. Before I became a preschool teacher I was a nanny. I love teaching all early learners, although four year olds are my favourite! | was born in Victoria and absolutely love our community and fostering that love in my students. I have a daughter who is 21, and a small dog that the class calls Poochy, even though his real name is Bertram. I'm so excited to be your teacher!
Harleen Kaur
ECEA
Hello! I'm Miss Harleen! I am from India and moved to Canada in 2019. I completed my Associate Degree in Arts from Capilano University in North Vancouver, and after that, I finished my Early Childhood Education. I have a deep love and passion for working with children. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stimulating environment where every child feels confident, inspired, and curious. Their innocence, curiosity, and boundless energy never fail to bring joy to my heart. I also really enjoy exploring new places and discovering different things. It's exciting to see new sights and gain new experiences every day.
Alana Parid
ECEA
Hello! I'm Miss Alanah! I got my ECE in 2025. Prior to schooling, I did 2 years of before and after school care as well as substituting with the preschool at Oak Bay Rec. I chose to become an ECE because children in these early years are are sponges with learning. This is the time where they learn the most. I want to make sure all the children in my care have a fun, safe and loving environment for them to grow in and become their true authentic self. I'm also a professional baker and completed my schooling in 2019. I am ever so excited to become your teacher!
