Hello! I am Megan Edgar, and I am the room supervisor of the Ladybug Room. I have been an Early Childhood Educator for 4 years and have been at Beaufort for 1 of those years. I have both my ECE & infant and toddler certification which I completed through North Island College; I intend on completing my supported child development certificate in the near future. I am dedicated to child led learning, emergent curriculum, and learning along side children. Being Indigenous, of the Lax kw'alaams allied tribes of the tsimshian people, I love to share traditional songs and stories during my circle times.I am a mommy & bonus mommy to four amazing children (ages 14, 6, 5, & 1). We are a hockey family through and through with my three oldest playing at the moment and my youngest fighting to get on the ice.
