Meet Our Educators
Our quality educators are essential to our program to maintain our high standards of care and education. Our educators at Tiny Bubbles are kind and nurturing, have a genuine love for children, and respect each child as an individual who understands child development and can apply this knowledge in the classroom. Our teachers also value working as part of a team with parents, colleagues, and the community. Included in our programming is sand/water play, life skills activities, such as planting and cleaning (through dramatic play), as well as communication literacy through specialized programming activities.
Most of our full-time educators are university graduates or graduates of early childhood education programs that are recognized by the Province of NB. All of our part-time staff are university students studying a discipline relating to childhood education or health care, or enrolled in Early Childhood Education programs.
All of our staff have completed the NB curriculum training program or are enrolled.

Tiny Bubbles is not just my job; it's my home away from home, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
Awards and Achievements
- Sonya O'Donnell, our administrator and educator, was honoured on November 18 by the Minister of Education of the province of NB with the Minister's Excellence in Education Award at a "Gala dinner at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Fredericton.
- Sonya was described by the selection committee as being a “child magnet” with a gentle nature. Sonya connects with all young learners in her charge. By establishing such a report, she can optimize all teachable moments to encourage all learners to think creatively and independently. Parents of the children in her care trust Sonya and are confident that they are well taken care of and supported to thrive. They are loved, encouraged, challenged, and supported.
Sonya works with a variety of children, takes the time to understand their unique abilities, and meets them at their level of learning. She can design personalized experiences for children that promote teamwork and success. Children arrive home each day enthusiastic to share what they have learned, whether it be a new song, to put their coats on independently, or to be able to say a new French word. When asked where they learned it, the answer is always the same: “Sonya taught me that.”
