Sophie (she/they) is a queer, creative educator with over a decade of experience as a Registered ECE. She lives and works on the unceded territory of the Algonquin Peoples in Ottawa, ON.

Her journey began with babysitting and volunteering in a special needs program in Japan. Her experiences inspired her to pursue Early Childhood Education at Algonquin College, where she graduated with honours in 2014.

Since then, Sophie has dedicated her career to supporting young parents, infants, and toddlers in nonprofit childcare settings. Her approach centers around intentional play, curiosity, and connection — seeing every interaction as a chance to nurture trust, joy, and learning.
