Jessica Wu
Lead Early Childhood Educator
My name is Jessica, and I am the proud mother of two wonderful girls. After the birth of my first child, my curiosity about child development grew, which inspired me to return to school and complete the Early Childhood Education (ECE) program at Sprott Shaw College.
I truly enjoy working with children. It’s incredibly rewarding to witness their growth and learning, knowing I’ve played a role in their development. My experience includes working in both Montessori and academically focused programs. I strongly believe in the power of playful learning and enjoy incorporating outdoor and nature-based activities into daily routines.
It’s a privilege to teach and guide your child at Kidikare, and I look forward to supporting their learning journey.

My name is Sahba, and I am the co-founder of KidiKare Early Learning Centre. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Food Science from Shahid Beheshti University (SBU) and have completed Early Childhood Education studies at Lethbridge College.
I am deeply passionate about creating a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can thrive. By integrating my background in food science, I promote healthy eating habits, and my expertise in early childhood education supports the holistic development of every child in my care.
Outside of my professional endeavors, I am the proud mother of a wonderful daughter, who inspires me daily to create enriching and meaningful experiences for young children.
