​At Banting and Best, we believe children learn through play. In our daily programming, we offer each child the opportunity to develop and expand their knowledge by engaging in the iSTEAM activities planned around their interests. Our program is a multi-aged group, from kindergarten to grade 6. We encourage children to learn and explore at their own developmental pace, take leadership, and foster positive social skills such as sharing and cooperation. 21st-century technology is a part of our curriculum, providing laptops and tablets for the children to explore Minecraft and setting challenges to reflect their interests using Scratch, Makey Makey, and Ozobot.

My name is LiJun Zhou. I have a B.A in Developmental Studies from University of Winnipeg in Manitoba. I learnt the big impact of quality child care and education programs on human development, family stability, and community well-being. In addition, I am a certified early childhood educator level 3 with four years of experience in child care centres. I was responsible for ensuring the safety and well-being of children; helping children develop social skills, and encouraging children to explore their interests. I love working with children, it is my joy to see children grow and develop. I would use my care and my knowledge to enhance children’s interests, as well as assisting their families. I am excited to be part of the team, I am looking forward to learn and assist children with my knowledge; to provide children a fun and learning  experience.
