Our Director

PAULA SMITH, RECE

I am a Registered Early Childhood Educator (RECE) who was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario. I am a Centennial College, York University and George Brown College alumni. I possessed a sociology degree from York University, an ECE diploma from Centennial College and a Daycare Early Childhood Management Certificate from George Brown College. I have over twenty years of experience working in the early years sector as a RECE and an Assistant Supervisor; the majority of it spent working at Boulton Avenue Childcare Centre. Boulton Avenue Child Care Centre has been a significant part of my life, my experiences and my growth.

As a highly accomplished and successful RECE/ Assistant Supervisor with more than 20 years of leadership experience within Boulton Avenue Childcare. I possess a broad range of knowledge and expertise that enables me to drive the success of this organization. My focus is on business development efforts, operational strategies, and internal initiatives to achieve goals while maintaining a keen eye on optimizing children’s experiences. I take great pride in knowing that our centre is one that strives for excellence and quality in child care. 

Throughout my years at Boulton Avenue Child Care I have had the experience of working in all rooms; infant, toddlers, pre-school and school age rooms. I am passionate about the environment, the children, the staff and our surrounding community. I love watching the children grow and watching parents move forward from fear to gratitude as they entrusted us with their most prized possession. I’m a child care advocate who works diligently making sure decision makers are implementing policies and procedures that will be beneficial to children and parents. My goal as a Director is to curate a positive environment where all children can thrive and reach their full potential, making sure all their needs are met individually and collectively.
