Our Team

My name is Nadia. I am the founder and Executive Director of Learning Happens. I started my career as a home child care consultant in 2010. While I was working as a full-time home child care consultant, I took my first step towards my goal of providing a tailored educational childcare experience for a better tomorrow by enrolling myself in a full time ECE degree course. Having the responsibilities as a mother of three and a full-time job, I created a balanced lifestyle where I was able to complete my degree with distinction in 2015. I am the voice of parents addressing concerns and challenges forward to the local and provincial level of authorities to improve the status quo in the home child care industry. I was active in participating with City of Toronto Assessment of Quality Initiative meetings and many other home child care work groups and training.

Throughout my career I have been passionate about children and working with families. As an Early Childhood professional, I believe that Early Childhood Educators are not only nurturers, but they are also partners in facilitating, observing, and understanding children and their developmental stage and cultural heritage. I’ve learnt about different settings, environment, and cultural matches that are the key components for children to thrive and prosper. I’ve supported and taught many successful providers how to find a balance in providing quality care alongside keeping intact with safety and ministry regulations compliance.
