    With over 30 years of experience in teaching, managing, directing, training, and pastoring children's ministry, I have dedicated to nurturing young minds and fostering a love for learning. My extensive background has given me a profound understanding of effective educational methodologies and the diverse needs of children. I believe that every child is unique, and by creating a supportive and engaging environment, we can help them thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

    Excellence is the cornerstone of my commitment to education. I am passionate about delivering high-quality care and customized educational programs that cater to each child’s individual needs. With strong leadership and collaboration, I strive to create a learning experience that not only builds knowledge but also instills confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. Through our dedicated team and child-centered approach, we aim to provide an enriching foundation that empowers children to reach their full potential.

  • Helen Jo

    Diploma in Early Learning and Child Care. Bow Valley College

    Alberta Child Development Worker Certification 3

    Helen has a gentle heart for creating warm and safe spaces where children can grow, feel loved, and belong. Since completing her Early Learning and Child Care studies in 2018, she has worked as a supervisor for five years, learning to see the beauty even in small, ordinary moments. She believes that children grow best when they are guided with care, and she herself grows alongside them — not just in knowledge, but in heart.

    Helen values building relationships with children, believing that trust and connection are essential parts of guiding them well. She tries to listen carefully — not only to their words, but also to the joys and worries they may not express — and walks alongside them as they grow. She also values working together with families and coworkers to build a kind and thoughtful community.

    When she’s not with the children, she enjoys simple things like sipping coffee, reflecting quietly, and finding little joys in everyday life.

  • Jisoo Park

    BA in Theology. Children & Family Ministry Major, Psychology Minor. Ambrose University

    Children’s Pastor at Calgary Korean Baptist Church 

    Alberta Child Development Worker Certification 1

    Jisoo has been working with children since 2008, officially entering the realm of children's programs and education in 2017. Her true passion lies in watching young children flourish in a creative and healthy environment. Jisoo firmly believes that fostering such an environment does not solely depend on excellent educators; it also requires the involvement and collaboration of parents. Understanding each child's family, personality, and unique home dynamics is just as vital as what transpires in the classroom.

    With an educational background in children and family ministry theology, she has dedicated over seven years to pastoring the children's ministry at Calgary Korean Baptist Church. There, Jisoo has the privilege of guiding and growing alongside wonderful little ones and their families.

    Outside of her professional life, Jisoo enjoys spending time at home with her two beautiful daughters and her husband. In her downtime, she indulges in drawing random things, painting with her girls, and binge-watching Netflix with her husband, all while enjoying a cup of coffee.
