Our Teachers

Zeljka

Daycare Supervisor

Hi my name is Zeljka! I moved to Canada over a decade ago from Croatia. I have 3 beautiful daughters and a small dog. I’ve been working at ASW for over 2 years, as I moved to Maple Ridge. Before ASW I worked at the airport but I wanted a local job so I could spend more time with my family. I love working with kids, and all my days at work are filled with children’s jokes and laughs. I used to want to be a P.E. teacher, because I really enjoy doing sports and activities with kids. I also enjoy crafts and painting. No matter how tired you are, or what kind of mood you’re in, the kids always manage to put a smile on my face, which is I love working here!

Katie

Daycare Attendant

Hi, I’m Katie! I have been working with the ASW team for almost a year. I joined because I enjoy working with kids. It’s so much fun playing games with them, and sharing in their excitement! I love learning new things from them. I like to bake! I make strudels, scones and even apple pandowdy. My future goals include going to Devon, England and to go on a Pirate tour! Y’aar Matey!

Consuelo

Daycare Attendant

Hello my name is Consuelo, I graduated teaching from university in the Philippines. I taught for couple of years and decided to come to Canada. I continued my working in one of the elementary schools in Vancouver as an SEA . I worked and integrated special needs children in a regular classroom setting. Together with this I also did respite care and eventually fostering them treating and nurturing them as if they were my own. At age 55, I retired. Thanks to Scott and Jessica that they have given me the opportunity to continue my passion working with children again. I love to sing songs with them, doing arts and crafts, and reading books. I am new and proud to be an ASW staff.

I have been working at ASW for almost a year now! Working with children brings me joy and personal growth; Children are our future!

Katarina

Daycare Attendant

Hello, my name is Katarina, and I am thrilled to join a team of passionate teachers at After School Warriors, where each child is treated with respect and love. After graduating from university in Slovakia, I worked with children in preschool and elementary schools. I am an experienced Montessori teacher and I continuously seek to expand my knowledge about childhood through courses and books. I am also a full-time mom to two energetic boys and a part-time teacher, working with all the unique kids in After School Warriors. I believe every child should be treated with respect and thus deserves positive role models, especially from teachers. I enjoy engaging in quieter activities with the kids, like crafting or hands-on activities. In my free time, I love to spend time in the forest, hiking, camping, cycling, and running.

Inna

Daycare Attendant

Hi, my name is Inna! I moved to Canada from Ukraine over 25 years ago. I was originally an engineer but found myself spending a lot of my time with kids. I have 3 grown children of my own. When they were kids I always had a lot of their friends over at our house. I also used to run a very successful “peanut club” child program when I originally came to Ontario, where I helped in the school’s homework club and promoted science through SCWIST (Society of Canadian Women in Science & Technology). Now I am a grandmother of 2 beautiful grandchildren. I love spending time with the after school kids who always surprise me with their curiousity, creative approaches to problems and the endless ways they reach their goals.
