Barbara began as Director of Burnaby Lakeview Preschool in July 1995. She has her Diploma in Early Childhood Education and has earned her Certification as a College Instructor teaching Early Childhood Education courses, conducting practicum supervision and facilitating parenting workshops.

Tawnya has been working at Burnaby Lakeview preschool since she graduated from Burnaby College in 2000. She has a strong commitment to providing quality care for children and supporting all of their developmental needs.

Molly is our "preschool dog". She has been at the preschool for nine years. She is a well trained, loving Mini Dachshund, who sleeps most of her day away in the office but comes out for supervised visits and accompanies the children on walks.

Studies have shown many positive benefits for children establishing relationships with dogs and for some children it can be very therapeutic.
