North Cedar Before & After School Care Program Corp. managers!
Debbie Lannon- ProprietorHello Everyone!
I started this company in 1993 at North Cedar Elementary, then I expanded to Chase River and Pauline Haarer, and continued to expand through out District 68. Now 27 years later, with a total of seven centers, over twenty staff, and 188 children in care, the business is far from where it started. This business and the people in it are all family to me and one another. My educational background consists of a human services degree, community support worker, along with many other Childcare related certificates. However, in the near future I plan to continue my learning in Health and Nutrition. I am very passionate about being green! I love gardening and learning about natural medications and herbs. When I am not reading a book, or learning something new, I am spending time with my family, and my animals. We hope you enjoy us and who we are and we look forward to meeting you and your families! |

Kim Howson - ManagerHello Everyone!
My name is Kim, I'm a mother of three children. I started working with NCBASP in March of 2014. Each day our group run laps around the field. When we reach 1000 laps as a team we have a party...usually every second week. At the end of the year we hand out ribbons to show each child their accomplishments. They run an average per school year as a group 3 thousand kilometers! I enjoy motivating the children to do their best, and to be the best they can be. You're welcome to come join us anytime for some fun! |

Pauline Haarer School Before & After School
Raechell Sywak - ManagerI have been working with children for most of my working years. I started out babysitting and volunteering then it just took off from there. When I was younger, I was put into an active lifestyle that involved dancing, playing soccer, volleyball, and basketball throughout my adolescence and into my adulthood. I like to think that I have a nice blend of creativity for crafts and a sports background to always have variety while being with the kids. I strongly believe that children need to have a good balance between free play and structured play and I try to incorporate that everyday into the program. I have done lots volunteering with Special Olympics here in Nanaimo and was one of their basketball coaches for quite a few years. No matter what role I’m in, I know that I’m learning something new from the kids everyday and I hope that they are able to learn something new from me as well.
