Becky is the Director of all daily and internal operations at Rhyme and Reason Early Learning. A career in education has been her dream since she was a preschooler herself, and loves fostering learning experiences every day in her own classroom. Her passion for working in the Early Childhood Education field began 15 years ago when she first started working in the field. Her work history includes being a Private Nanny, Preschool Recreation Instructor, Out of School Care Facilitator, and an Advanced Kindergarten Instructor. She graduated with a Diploma in Early Learning and Child Care from Bow Valley College. She believes that being a Preschool Teacher is beyond rewarding and gratifying, but the best bonus is that it includes tons of smiles, laughs and a whole lot of fun!

Vicheny is a student at Mount Royal University majoring in Child Studies and minoring in Early Learning Child Care. Understanding how influenced children are at a young age, it made her want to be not only a teacher but also a co-learner with the children she works with. Her priorities are to ensure they are cared for, nurtured, and have relationships where they can feel supported in every way possible. For most of her life, she has tried to follow three things; be kind, love unconditionally, and be compassionate. These three things she wants to help pass onto the children she works with; she wants them to know she is there to treat them with kindness, love, and compassion so that they grow a great self-esteem that helps them understand how capable and strong they are.
