Our Team
We are a small, sweet team of loving and compassionate individuals who cherish children. We recognize the roles we play in our children’s lives and we hold this responsibility with humility and honour. In all we do, we seek to protect the innocence and wonder of childhood.
Ms. Adri
Owner, Director
Adri (short for Adrienne, after her Grandmother) was born and raised in Northern Alberta where she spent a good deal of her childhood running around the boreal forest of her sprawling backyard. Some of her favourite childhood memories are moonlit cross-country skis along the trail her parents made through silver poplar trees, reading and sipping hot cocoa by the fire, muddy spring days canoeing on temporary ponds of melted snow, sandy summer lake days in the water, building castles, climbing trees, playing barefoot soccer, roasting marshmallows, and, long river-valley walks on golden autumn days followed by cookie-baking. Adri took an undergrad in Communications at Trinity Western University and went on to earn a masters of Occupational Therapy at the University of Alberta, where she was able to complete practicums in the area of early childhood intervention. After having her daughter, Daisy India, Adri’s passion within the area of early childhood education deepened. A dream was ignited to cultivate a beautiful space where children could be nurtured through wonder, imagination, and restful learning.
Ms. Bre
Creative Director
Bre, an only child, grew up surrounded by sketchbooks, violin practice, and the comforting chaos of creativity. As a child, she was always making something—scrapbooks, stitched creations, or photos snapped with her beloved cameras. Now, as Creative Director at Almond Branch School, Are brings this imaginative spirit to life by supporting the team through thoughtful leadership and engaging programming. With over ten years of professional childcare experience, she feels deeply grateful to combine her two lifelong passions: nurturing children and nurturing creativity As a mother herself, Are approaches her work with a heart full of empathy and wonder–always striving to help create the kind of magical, meaningful childhood she dreams of for her own little one.
