Our Educators

---

Kamusta (hello), I'm Marina Lassin, a proud native of the Philippines.

I take immense pleasure in being a part of the infant and toddler program. I have my Level 3 in Early Childhood Education. 

 Working with young children brings me great joy because they often engage in the most delightful and unexpected antics, which never fail to make me burst into laughter.

Witnessing their journey of learning and growth as they explore and interact with the world around them is truly rewarding. Outside of my work, I relish spending my free time fishing, camping, and boating with my family and friends during the summertime

Hi! 

My name is Bri, and I am an educator here at WHDCS. You will most likely find me in the Rosebud Room hanging out with the three-year-olds! When I am not at work, I am at home with my son Rome and our dog Goose (y boy!)

I graduated from northern lakes college with my level two in Early Learning and Childcare. I love coming into work everyday and seeing all my tiny friends. I am so lucky to be able to call this my career. Some of our favourite activities to do would be painting (anything and absolutely everything), building forts, and going on nature walks 

I have been part of the Whispering Hills Daycare team since October 2021. Throughout my time here, I have achieved significant milestones in my career as an early learning child care educator. I obtained my Level One certification in this field and also completed the HSR fundamentals course, which led to my appointment as the Health and Safety Representative for the Society.  In addition to my educational achievements, I hold certifications in first aid and food sanitation and hygiene. Currently, I am fully dedicated to the Kinder/OSC program where I support as their Team Lead.

 Hi , I'm Jerrimay or you can call me Jerri. I have 2 kids and am thankful to have them here with me! I'm from the Philippines and I used to work in the food industry. I have been an educator within the Whispering Hills Daycare Society since the summer of 2023. I currently hold my level one in Early Childhood Education.  

I was excited to work with kids because I am a kid at heart and love the opportunity to freely be myself in such a fun and safe environment.  I have always had a passion for working with kids and new that I wanted to work with children since I was young. 

I love being able to take care of children and support them through their learning journeys. Right now you will see me primarily working at the University Program!

A little bit about myself. I first started my journey in childcare in 2022. I always said since I was a little girl that I would never work with children but then I found myself in a job working with children and I fell in love, when I found daycares I knew that this was what I wanted to do in life.
I have my level one in childcare and I plan to continue my education in childcare and start my level two within the next year.
I started working at Whispering Hills Day Care in May of 2023. I am currently the team lead for the infants aged 12-19 months at the University site. I love this center because I get to experience all of the special moments and milestones that come with the first few years of their life. I love watching the children discover their personalities. These children help me grow every single day and I am so thankful to be a part of their lives.

 I work primarily at the WHPS Kinder/OSC site! I have been working with Whispering Hills Daycare Society since the Summer of 2021. I currently have my level 1 in early childhood education. 

I enjoy creating a fun and safe environment for the children while they learn new things everyday. I also love teaching the children more about my Indigenous culture! 

When I am not at work I enjoy being outside doing things such as hunting, fishing, camping, and also doing crafts, and spending time with my family! 

 I am grateful to have been a part of the Whispering Hills Daycare Society team since July 2024.

As an educator, I believe in fostering a nurturing and supportive environment where every child feels valued, respected, and encouraged to explore their full potential. My approach emphasizes the holistic development of each child(s) development-socially, cognitively, and physically- through play-based and inquiry- driven learning. 

 I’ve been working for WHDCS since September 2020. I have had the pleasure of working in all 3 center's. Currently I am working at the University site. My passion has always been for educating and working with children. I’ve always been committed towards to the children’s success. I am here to guide, support, and inspire the children to reach each milestone and goal. I currently have my level 2 in Early Learning & Child Care and am actively working towards my diploma in Early Childhood education. I have the Flight Framework course as well  Standard First aid. 

My goal is to encourage socialization, fine and gross motor skills to support the children to build strong coordination skills. Gross motor skills play a huge role in the overall physical development of the children. Some examples would be tying their own shoes, zipping up their jackets and assembling puzzles. I value learning through play and am always encouraging learning opportunities!

Hello! my name is Stephanie Harlow and I have been around kids my entire life. I have always found joy in being around them. I love teaching them new things, and I find they often teach me new things as well. I graduated from school in 2009 and also got my ECE Certificate (Level 2). The last 10 years I worked at Whispering Hills Primary School and I loved it! I am so thrilled to be joining the daycare team. Here is a little about me when I am not at work. I love spending time with my husband and my 15 year old son Luke. We enjoy camping and fishing in the Summer months. We also have two labradoodles dogs that we love to spoil rotten.
