LEANNE THOMEY
DIRECTOR
Hello my name is Leanne Thomey.
I have a degree in Child and Youth Care from the University of Victoria and an Early Childhood Administrators Certificate from Mount St. Vincent University.
I have worked in the field since 2000 and over 14 of those years have been with Fox Hollow. I have been a pre-school teacher, an after-school teacher, a family home consultant and now the Owner/Director of Fox Hollow.
I have 2 teenage boys, and it has always been my dream to own my own centre and it’s a privilege to be able to work with the staff and families of Fox Hollow. I truly believe we have a uniqueness that sets us apart.

I have worked with children for most of the last 35 years. Previous to working at Fox Hollow I ran my own home daycare for children from ages 6 months to 12 years. I have worked at Fox Hollow for 17 years, getting to know the children and their families in the toddler, pre-school, and school-age programs. It was during this time that I received my level 1 classification.
When not at work my interests vary from gardening to spending as much time as possible with my grandchildren. I also enjoy watching football and hockey games, playing the piano, knitting and baking.

EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATOR
Jordan Fiander
My name is Jordan Fiander and I graduated from the Early Childhood Education program at Nova Scotia Community College.
Growing up, my mother ran a daycare out of our home until my teenage years, so I have been in the early childhood setting and around children for most of my life.
Helping children to learn, grow and have fun is my passion and I am hoping that while teaching as a male in largely female dominated field, I am able to teach the children that each and every one of them can be anything that they aspire to be!
