Welcome to Little Stars!

Get to know our dedicated and experienced staff. All of our teachers are devoted to complete child care for children of all ages. You can rest easy knowing your child is in the best hands with us.

I received my Bachelor of Education from the University of Punjab. In 2002, I moved from Dubai with my husband and daughter. We grew our family and I chose to stay home and ran a dayhome! I always wanted to work with kids and have a large family! In 2007, I bought Childsplace Learning Centres and I still own it currently. In 2011, I opened Childsplace Learning Centres Crestmont in the lower level of the community centre. With the downturn of the economy in 2015, I undertook the task of changing the program from a preschool to a daycare and in July 2016, Childsplace Learning Centres Crestmont to Little Stars. In 2017, I opened KidzClubCalgary. KidzClubCalgary is an out of school care program located within the CBE school system.

I am a mom of 4 children. We spend lots of time with friends and doing lots of travelling! Our favorite place to visit is Europe!

I received my Early Childhood Education Diploma in 2000 in Saskatchewan. In 2002, I moved to Calgary to seek new opportunities in the childcare field. I have worked in the field since then at various places with various ages. In 2009, I received my Montessori certification to teach children ages 2.5 to 6 years. I have also completed many professional development courses over the years; currently I am working on an Outdoor Play certification and awaiting to be accepted into the Flight Theory online course. My favorite learning to date is anything from Lisa Murphy (the owner of Oooey Gooey). I have been employed with Benzy for 10 years and enjoy every moment of being in the centres.

I am a mom of 2 wonderful children ages 11 and 7 years. We like to spend lots of time outdoors and together. My son loves martial arts and my daughter loves dance. Between these activities and other fun stuff like scouts and soccer, we are a busy family!

Along with Little Stars, I am the Area Coordinator for Childsplace Learning Centre Ltd and KidzClub Calgary. With 3 centres, busy is the name of the game! You will see me at 1 location and then be off to another centre!

I believe all kids deserve to have a safe educational environment to learn and grow.  We strive every day to provide a lasting education in each child that comes through our center. I believe in being an advocate for the children and working towards offering a well balanced program that enrichs the child and the family!

We have a family style daycare room with all our ages in the same room. The toddlers have their own separate area to offer age appropriate learning and activities. We have the advantage of lots of natural light coming into the room daily and we can move our centres around to open up the room for activities that needs lots of space.

All ages eat in the main area together at tables. We strive to help the children be independent with serving themselves. We serve 2 meals and 2 snacks daily and follow the Canada food guide!

When you enter the room, you will notice our bright colors, play centres and the open ended possibilities for learning!

Our fenced in backyard is on the north side of the building. Two different playing surfaces (grass and rubber) allow for many learning outcomes. Mini gardens, house centre, riding cars, tables and various toys fill in the area for the children. We also use the field area to the north side of the fenced yard.
