Judy Hines, the owner and director, has been in childcare since 1981. She is the founder of Judy's Nursery School and has owned and operated the school since 1990. Judy has a Bachelor of Arts Degree, and a Community Services Diploma in addition to her Early Childhood Education training. Proir to opening Judy's Nursery School she worked for nine years with preschoolers with special needs. This experience has been invaluable in helping assess any areas where a child may need assistance to fully reach their potential. Extensive experience, education and a desire to have each child treated "as she would want her own treated" has led to the establishment of an excellent preschool referred time and time again by word of mouth.

Pam Chapdelaine has also been in the child care field since 1981 and at Judy's since 1998. Pam has recieved Early Childhood Education Training from Teachers College in Truro and from St. Josephs College of Early Childhood Education in Halifax.

Growing up in a very large family, Pam gained invaluable experience in how to deal with children of all ages. When an opening came up in the school in 1998 Judy offered Pam the job and was thrilled when she accepted. Pam has been with the school ever since and has been an amazing asset to the school. She is exceptional with both the children and the parents and is loved by both.. Her enthuasism for young children and her nuturing nature contribute to making her such a wonderful preschool teacher.

Kim was handpicked by Judy and offered the job because of her pleasant personalty and her ability to relate to children. Children are drawn to Kim and enjoy spending time and learning from her. Kim has been a wonderful additon to Judy's Nuirsery School.
