Our Team
Since 2013 that we are in Griffintown, we have grown, evolved, and learned with our children. Above all else, however, this nursery has become a second home to all our children who have grown here, acquired beautiful experiences here, and have gained multiple skills thanks to the games, the laughs, and the diverse activities created by their educators.
A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. – Antoine de St Exupéry

Neither the location, the beauty nor the quantity of games suffice to educate our children. All would be meaningless without the love and passion that our educators express for their work and their toddlers.
If there is one metaphor that vividly comes to mind when I think of Garderie Griffin, it’s the image of an orchestra conductor performing in one of the most beautiful Operas in the world: this conductor, as talented as they may be, is nothing without their talented musicians; and the talent of these musicians, in turn, could not be revealed without their love of music.
As Romy Schneider once said: “Talent is a matter of love”. And indeed, it is of love and passion that our educators will speak of, as we cannot practice this job without love for the children, without the passion, without the empathy… And it is because, for the past several years, we have all been working so closely together, because we now know and complete each other, that we have successfully managed to make this nursery a second home to all our children, and a second home to all of us.
Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success – Henry Ford

Our Educators
Hi! I’m Kathleen, and I’ve been the Director of Garderie Griffin since September 2025! ☀️
My journey with Griffin began in January 2018, when I started as an infant educator. I later became Assistant Director before having the wonderful opportunity to take on the role of Director of this amazing daycare.
I’m a cheerful, outgoing person who’s always in a good mood! You’ll probably see me running around the daycare all day, but always with a smile on my face! 😊
Over the years, Garderie Griffin has become so much more than just a workplace to me: it’s my second family, my home away from home. I’ve grown professionally, built incredible relationships, and most importantly, had the joy of watching so many little ones grow, learn, and blossom.
Today, as Director, my greatest pride is being able to continue creating the warm, family-like atmosphere that makes our daycare so special. I want every child to feel loved, safe, and happy, and every parent to feel completely at ease knowing their little one is in good hands.
The happiness and well-being of your children have always been, and will always remain, my top priority. ❤️
I’m incredibly lucky to be surrounded by a wonderful team that shares these same values and puts their heart into everything they do, every single day.
I can’t wait to welcome you into our beautiful Griffin family and share all the wonderful milestones of your children’s lives with you!
Looking forward to meeting you! 💕


Hello, my name is Aline, and I am an educator in the 4-5 years old class.
I have a BA in Languages and Literature, and a BA in Pedagogy. Currently, I am studying Early Childhood Education.
Working in the education field is my passion! On my journey as a teacher, I have had the opportunity to work with children from preschool, elementary and high school.
As an educator, I believe children learn best and develop when they are encouraged and stimulated to actively play and explore the world around them. For that to happen, educators need to provide a safe and nurturing environment for children so they will grow and develop in all domains: social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and language. At Griffin Daycare, it’s visible and clear how all the educators have this goal in mind, and I am very happy to be part of this family.
Hello there! Myself Srishti Sharma and I am an educator of nursery at griffin daycare.

I find inspiration everyday through working in the nursery and knowing that I am part of their first school experience. I feel that it is a gift to me to help them explore the world around them.
It is my goal to make sure that each child receives the best care and love that they all deserve. Also, griffin staff is very cooperative, helpful and fun to work with.


Bonjour ! Je m’appelle Nour !
Je suis une éducatrice venue du Danemark, où j’ai étudié la pédagogie de la petite enfance. Ma passion pour la découverte de nouveaux environnements éducatifs m’a menée jusqu’au Canada, où j’ai le plaisir de travailler avec les tout-petits.
La Garderie Griffin est l’endroit idéal pour moi, car elle partage pleinement mes valeurs : une approche éducative centrée sur l’autonomie, le contact avec la nature et le respect du rythme propre à chaque enfant. J’y travaille depuis novembre 2024.
Je privilégie un accompagnement bienveillant, où chaque journée est une occasion d’observer, de soutenir et d’encourager les enfants à grandir dans un environnement chaleureux, sécuritaire et stimulant. Mon plus grand bonheur ? Voir un enfant s’épanouir, s’émerveiller en découvrant le monde, oser être lui-même et créer ses premières amitiés dans un espace où il se sent aimé, écouté et respecté.
Bonjour, je suis Immelda Kinsala Mabinda d’origine Congolaise. Je suis éducatrice avec le groupe des 2-3 ans.
Je suis une personne souriante et bienveillante qui aime les enfants et j’ai la chance de faire partie de l’équipe de la garderie Griffin. Je me sens à l’aise avec les enfants et la garderie, je me sens comme chez moi.
J’aime partager ma joie avec les petits enfants et les accompagner dans leur développement.
Au plaisir de vous accueillir,
Immelda
