Diana Elligott- Tree House Manager,  ECE Teacher
Out of School Care, Preschool

​
Started at Tree House in 1999-2004, Returning in 2014
I graduated from Capilano College in 1999 with my ECE Certification and started to work at the Treehouse in all our different programs for over five years. I then ventured into a new career working with Coast Mental Health, managing a group home & working with individuals affected by mental health challenges. During this time, I was raising a young son and a daughter. My passion has always been to work with people of all ages to help guide them to reach their full potential. Throughout the years I have always remained deeply connected to the Tree House and its staff. I returned to Treehouse on a part-time basis with my preschool aged children where I once again became part of the family. As my children have grown, I continued full-time as an ECE educator before stepping into the Management Position. Treehouse is a special place for children and families to learn and grow and feel part of a truly loving family.

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.
