Lead Teacher
Teacher Melissa
This will be my third year having the privilege of being the owner and teacher at Discovery Nursery School. I graduated from Lethbridge Community College with honors in Early Childhood Education in 2006. I worked in a daycare when I graduated and then in 2007 opened a day home which I ran for 14 years. During that time, I got married to my husband Mike and we have been blessed with two daughters, Janessa, and Claire.
I enjoy planning meaningful play areas based on the children’s interests and different themes around the classroom. I love watching children have “ah-ha” moments as they learn through play.

Teacher Melanie
This is my first year teaching at Discovery Nursery School and I am so excited to meet all of the children, families and get to know the staff. I have over 20 years of experience teaching preschool aged children and they have my whole heart! I love the wonder in their eyes and the candid ways they express themselves. I look forward to a fabulous year.
Morning Classroom Assistant
Teacher Laureen
Laureen is a wonderful addition to the teaching staff at Discovery Nursery School. Spending time with children every day does not feel like a job but more like a blessing. Watching them grow from the first day of school to the last day of school is amazing. I can honestly say this is my happy place.

Teacher Marlene
I have been working at Discovery for the last 3 years and have been working with children for over 30 years. I enjoy seeing the children grow through play, and their smiling faces when they complete a task that they were working on. Their excitement is the reason, I love being part of their growth.
