Little Chef’s Club Ms. Maria was a parent at RYRNS for 5 years with her children, before becoming one of the teaching staff. “This school has been a home to me and has brought much joy for myself and my children. It is the spirit of the co-op that brought me here, and every year children, parents and staff work and play together to bring out the best in each of us. This is an important stepping stone in your child’s life, and you have an opportunity to share in these special moments. We all know time travels quickly, this is a reminder to savor the joys of each day no matter how small.” Email Miss Maria

Over the past six years, Amy has played the role of parent, board member, daughter to Mrs. Fisher and Miss Maria and is delighted to now be apart of the teaching team. She has 3 children; two of which were formerly Beavers. She is a graduate of George Brown College/Ryerson University collaborative Early Childhood Education (ECE) program. Apart from the nursery school Miss Amy is also a supply teacher for other George Brown College lab schools with preschool and kindergartens and during the summer she is involved with various summer programs/camps/ activities. Miss Amy is in both classes on a weekly basis so she gets to know all beavers and the chipmunks and gets to “play” with both Mrs. Fisher and Miss Maria. Email Miss Amy
