Tommy Paige

Hi, my name is Tommy Paige, and I'm a practical nurse and assistant director at Fountain Square Playschool.

 

I've been in the early childhood education field since 2011, and l've had the privilege of working with children in a variety of settings, including preschools and childcare centers.

 

As a practical nurse, l'm responsible for helping children develop their creativity, social skills, and problem-solving abilities through music, art, gym and play.

 

I take pride in providing a safe and nurturing environment for children to learn and grow, and I'm committed to creating meaningful connections with each child and their families.

 

In my free time, I enjoy playing music, photography, astronomy and spending time with my own family, who inspire me every day to continue making a positive impact in the lives of young learners.

 

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit about me, and I look forward to connecting with you soon.

Bianca Delgado
Hello everyone!

My name is Bianca Delgado and I’m originally from Lima, Peru.
I have been working with children since my first few years of university back in Peru. Now I’m a bachelor in ECE and soon to get my master’s in special education.
Seeing how children have many different ways of creating and learning is an amazing experience! Moreover, watching them grow and evolve into Preschoolers is fascinating.
I believe that there is never a boring day when it comes to working with children.

Hello, my name is Laura and I come from Italy. I have a master’s degree in education, and I moved to Finland two years ago for love.
I am the preschool teacher in Fountain Square playschool. I truly enjoy being with kids and seeing them learn something new every day. I am amazed by their creativity in play, for example when they make entire new worlds out of a couple of blocks. I like discussing with them and listening to all the good and sometimes crazy and funny ideas that they have. They just make your day!
