      <image:title>Our Educator - Miss Alisha</image:title>
      <image:caption>Alisha has been an ECE educator for over 18 years. In 2000, she moved to Romania where she lived and worked with orphaned children for 9 years. After returning to Canada, she began teaching preschool in the Sullivan area and has been so enamored with this community! Her passion and heart has always been bent towards children; to get lost with them, dream alongside them and to foster imagination and creativity in a way that never leaves them.</image:caption>
