Mary Johnson - ECE Teacher
Out of School, Preschool
Started at Tree House in 2001
After graduating with my ECCE in 2000, I began teaching at Tree House in 2001. I have worked in all the programs here and also with children with Special Needs. I have taken specific courses on Autism, Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), along with many workshops. I believe that play is the most important“work” a child can do. They learn so much and it comes so naturally to them. It’s amazing to observe children at play! Personally, I have lived on the North Shore for a number of years, returning after living in my other homeland of Barbados. I have a son, Shyloh, who is recently recently Graduated from the University of Victoria.
