She comes to us with a great deal of experience (18 years!) and well recommended and we have enjoyed having her calm, happy spirit! Julie started out in the school system and had decided that was the path she was going to take when a former teacher pulled her into the childcare world and then she never looked back! She loves nature and hiking; being in her garden; and trips to the beach to look for sea glass. She also enjoys spending time with her son, Tyler, and loves visits and outings with her granddaughter, Arya. She is a big animal lover and enjoys her cat, Storm, and her dog, Mimi, who she recently brought back all the way from Mexico! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ad947f93538178c9daa0a2/afeea872-f8a9-45dd-bc6a-974f76f1f0e3/GBC+Staff+June+2023+-+007.jpeg About Us - Matt Matt has been in the field for over 10 years and also was involved in the management of another centre before landing at GBC in 2023. He is a hockey fanatic and ringette and softball coach and dedicates a ton of his spare time to working with children in many capacities, not the least of which are his own 3 children. He is passionate about music and can often be heard singing around the the centre. He is enthusiastic about connecting with each child and their parents. He is incredibly flexible and ready to jump into any classroom at any time and help his coworkers in any way necessary. He is full of great ideas and shares them willingly as things come up around the centre. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ad947f93538178c9daa0a2/1623933759136-X36MTS8EXU0SQ4DX2033/GBC+Headshots+-+002.jpeg About Us - Krista Krista has been working at GBC since the summer of 2016. She has worked with both afterschool and preschool, showing her versatility as an educator. She has been passionate about education since a young age and has been blessed with many opportunities to work with children over the years — Jr Church, midweek children’s programs, VBS, and teaching ESL in South Korea for 2 years. She graduated from ABU (Crandall) in 2008 with her BA, from TWU in 2010 with a Masters of Applied Linguistics and Exegesis, and from Oulton College in 2016 with an ECE diploma. She grew up in the Fredericton area but now lives in Moncton with her husband, David. “I am so thankful to work at a centre where I have the opportunity to integrate my faith with my love of teaching. Each child I have the privilege of working with is so wonderfully unique and they are constantly surprising me and reminding me of important life principles.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ad947f93538178c9daa0a2/ed4a175d-282f-4b85-b47d-d5dffa5914d2/GBC+Headshots+March+2024+-+005.jpeg About Us - Christa Christa joined GBC in 2023 having already been in the childcare field for almost 20 years. She was a stay at home mom when her daughter started school and Christa was given the opportunity to work in a kindergarten class. She enjoyed that so much that she took her ECE/EA course in 2006. She has continued to build her resume with her Class 4 bus license, kitchen license and many other Professional Learning courses over the years. She has inspired her daughter, Faith, to follow in her footsteps and she now works in our Jr Preschool room. Outside of work, Christa keeps active with Zumba and softball. She has been playing ball for over 35 years, which has included many trips to Nationals, and is headed to Saskatoon this summer to represent NB in the over 35 division. She has also been married to her awesome husband, Dave, for over 25 years who we’ve been lucky to have do some great handyman work for us already! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ad947f93538178c9daa0a2/df670e80-177d-4881-bc52-b5cc56d3a731/GBC+Headshots+Nov+2022+-+005.jpeg About Us - Brandon Brandon is another hockey fan who joined GBC in 2022. He is great at making connections and building rapport with children and coworkers. He came to us as a fairly new educator but has grown so much in following this children’s interests and extending their learning. He dedicates alot of time volunteering at his community church and a couple of our children enjoy their mid week programs thanks to his invitations! He is down to earth, a great listener, and truly care for everyone. He enjoys video games and bring them in for a special activity on rare occasions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ad947f93538178c9daa0a2/1030661e-96ad-43f3-b52b-a2e3fcf7c68f/GBC+Headshots+March+2024+-+007.jpeg About Us - Faith Faith grew up watching her mother work in he field and had some understanding of how things are done. Faith shares a love of old cars with her grandfather and that grew into an interest of becoming a mechanic and a desire to one day build an old car with her grandfather. So she went to NBCC and graduated at the top of her class in this field. But as she got older, she decided to try something different and started in the childcare field in January 2023 when she decided she loved working with children. When an opening came up at GBC in July of 2023, she joined our team. When not with the children, Faith has a passion for spending time with her family and their many pets (2 dogs, 3 cats)! She also integrates a love of nature into the classroom and has become our go-to person for our plant questions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ad947f93538178c9daa0a2/72cfdc35-5b6d-4804-85e0-20969925fafd/GBC+Headshots+March+2024+-+001.jpeg About Us - Deanna Deanna started at GBC in early 2023, quickly proving herself as a natural in Early Childhood Education. With a background in competitive sports, she brings a dynamic energy and strong communication skills to her interactions with children, families & coworkers. She is passionate, energetic and genuine. She is always down on the children’s level, loves to be silly, and is so flexible with activities and changes in routine. Outside of work, she enjoys staying active with her dog and playing sports. She is very motivated to learn and wants to make sure she does things right so she asks questions until she gets it. She’s hoping to get into the ECE program soon so she can officially complete her education in the field! https://www.gbcearlylearning.com/services daily 0.75 2024-05-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60ad947f93538178c9daa0a2/1715884694465-BPTF0TZ5HRMPQO7J24F7/image-asset.jpeg Services - Infant We were thrilled to add an infant age group to our centre in 2023.

Our objective is to promote the early growth and development of each preschool child, according to their potential. The program will cover physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual development, motor skills, creativity and the development of self-help skills. Our program is based on the New Brunswick Curriculum Framework (English) for Early Learning and Child Care.
