A Word

From Our Director

These first 5 years of a child’s life are so important and it is a privilege to be a part of their curiosity, exploration and play. I started at Meekins as a parent in 2014, became a teacher in 2016 and took on the role of Director in 2024. I’ve seen first hand how the friendships, cooperation and problem solving that children learn here support them throughout their life, and am grateful to be part of this community.
