A calm, warm classroom where little ones feel at home.
I'm Timea, a certified early childhood educator and mom of two. I create steady routines, playful learning and an open door for families, and I'm ready to bring that to your preschool team.
Skills that make a classroom run well.
Years of training, a supervisor's eye for the whole room, and the everyday patience of raising two boys.
Play-based learning
Age-appropriate activities that build curiosity, language and social skills through play.
Calm routines
Predictable days, smooth transitions and positive guidance so every child feels safe and seen.
Partnering with families
Friendly daily check-ins. As a parent myself, I know first-day nerves and the pride in a new skill.
Inclusive care
Experience working alongside therapists and specialists, with IPPs, FSCD and PUF processes.
Safety and documentation
Knows Alberta licensing and ratio rules, and keeps clear daily records and observations.
Organized and proactive
Handles competing needs calmly and spots what needs doing before anyone has to ask.
From morning hello to afternoon pick-up.
Children do best when they know what comes next. This is the rhythm I build, adapted to each program.
- Arrival
Warm welcome
A personal hello for every child and a quick word with each parent.
- Morning
Circle and play
Songs, stories and learning centres that follow the children's interests.
- Midday
Outdoors and lunch
Active play outside, then a calm, social mealtime.
- Rest
Quiet time
A gentle wind-down with books and soft activities.
- Afternoon
Discovery
Art, sensory play and small-group activities.
- Pick-up
Family hand-off
A short update on each child's day, every day.
Trained on two continents.

Hi, I'm Timea.
I studied early childhood education first in Romania and then in Canada, and I've worked with children in Toronto and Calgary, most recently as a Child Development Supervisor.
For the past few years I've been at home raising our two boys. Being a mom has taught me just as much: how much consistency matters, how to stay calm when three things happen at once, and how to anticipate what a child needs before they ask.
Now that both boys are in school, I'm ready to return to the classroom full-time and give a group of preschoolers the warm, steady start every child deserves.
I want every child in my room to feel safe, seen and curious, and every parent to feel they know how their child's day went.
Let's talk about your team.
I'm looking for a full-time Preschool Teacher role in Calgary, especially in the southwest. I'd be happy to meet, visit your centre or share references.
