Fiona Pursell

Fiona has worked in the ECE field for over 20 years in three different provinces, and has been with New Brighton Child Care since we opened in 2015. She was an educator and Assistant Director before stepping into the role of Director. She earned her Level III ECE Supervisor certification with honours, and believes the child is a “mighty learner.” Continuing education is important to Fiona and she thrives in a learning environment where keeping up with current practice and creating inclusive settings is key.
Forming warm relationships with children and their families is one of Fiona’s greatest strengths, and her ‘Storytime’ classroom visits are legendary.
