Meet the Director
I am Marina Razavi, the Centre Director of Kids & Company Consumers. I have been working in child care for over 20 years, and I have been working with Kids & Company since 2007. I have always wanted to work in child care because I enjoy being around children and assisting them in their development. Having the opportunity to make a positive impact in our children’s lives gives me the motivation to get up and go to work every morning. I have three children of my own and a very loving husband. In my spare time, I like to go on long walks as I really enjoy being in nature. I also love reading and listening to podcasts on a variety of subjects. The Kids & Company Consumers location has an unbeatable team who create a positive working environment every day. Everyone is always happy, smiling, and willing to lend a helping hand. What makes our centre unique is that together, we make memories with the children and within our team. Kids & Company encourages children to grow, develop, and be their best selves. Our staff is very kind and we work around the clock to ensure the children get the best care and support. When people see our centre, it is clear how much attention to detail goes into the day-to-day activities with the children. Rest assured your children will be taken care of and will flourish at Kids & Company. Now that you know a little more about me, I hope to see you and your family soon!
At Kids & Company, we work with your family to ensure that the transition is a smooth one. Before your child’s first day, we’ll provide information on what to expect. We’ll create an integration schedule that is right for your child and every day that your child is in the classroom, you’ll receive a daily report that lets you know how your child’s day was. You’ll also be able to see him or her on our in classroom web cameras. The Centre Director will even send you an email before the end of the day if your child has a special “wow” moment that day.
Toddlers learn best in the context of relationships within small groups. There are fewer distractions and children’s activities are more focused. In Kids & Company toddler classrooms, our small groups allow very young children to make connections, form caring relationships, and learn to understand other children.
All two-year-olds examine everything they see, hear, feel and observe in an attempt to make sense of the world around them. In our preschool programs, Kids & Company teachers interact, observe and interpret the interests of preschool students to encourage further discoveries by planning activities and investigations that expand your child’s learning.
Kids & Company runs comprehensive kindergarten programs designed for children who are 4 or 5 years old (junior and senior kindergarten age) to prepare them for Grade 1. Using emergent curriculum techniques to adapt to the children’s’ interests and skills, we set a foundation of early literacy, numeracy, artistry, and the construction of relationships and ideas. Kindergarten programs are integrated into full-time child care to provide convenience and continuity.
Select Kids & Company locations offer school age programming for children ages 6-12 (Grades 1 – 6). Whether you have a younger child attending a Kids & Company location and you’d like the convenience of picking up your children in the same location or you’d like a program that’s run by trusted educators, Kids & Company school age programs may be right for your child.
