About

Meet Our Staff

I’m Ms. Gabi. I’m from Brazil, living in Canada with my family for 5 years now.

We’ve learned to love this country and make it our home.

Me and my family (my husband, our 11 year-old boy and our 2 cats) enjoy being among friends and around nature, which is our favorite part of living in BC, with so many parks and nature all around.

I truly appreciate the opportunity to be teaching, learning and sharing with children, staff and families.

Hi, my name is Teresa Ralph (aka Terri) and I am very excited to be at Absorbent Minds as the after school care teacher.

I have 14 years experience working with school age children and as a manager of a large childcare centre here in West Cloverdale. I have
also worked at AJ McLellen as a noon hour supervisor.

I am a crafter and enjoy doing crafts, playing indoor and outdoor games with the children. I also like planning activities and field trips.

My main focus is to make sure your children are safe and having fun.

My husband and I moved to Cloverdale in 2007 from Richmond. We have two grown sons, two grandchildren & two grand puppies.

I am looking forward to working with your children and getting to know
the families.
