Faculty
Ms. Habibeh Javadkhani
Preschool and Jr. Kindergarten Teacher
“It has been a pleasure to be a member of the Little Owl family for nine years now. I have a grounded passion for children and strive to cater to the needs of each individual child. My goal is to provide the best learning and loving environment to ensure that students successfully transition into the next stages of development.”
Ms. Yana Glibova
Preschool and Jr. Kindergarten Teacher
“I am a devoted member of the Little Owl team and passionate about teaching. It is important to me to be a positive role model and ensure that all students’ unique needs and goals are met.”
Mr. Joshua Itwaru
Music Teacher
“It is my duty and goal to uphold the belief and education of the Little Owl School, by providing its students with the discipline and understanding of the philosophy and theory of music. Alongside that, it is my daily right to institute the qualities of excellence, generosity, integrity, and dignity in each individual so that they may be the light in dark places.”
Ms Julia Galinsky
Kindergarten and Elementary Teacher
A child’s mind is like a “tabula rasa”, it is a blank slate. The environment shapes the genetics underneath. I am passionate about bringing forth the best version of the student and motivating them to be honorable, educated, intelligent, sophisticated and independent thinkers. “Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.” Plato
Developing confidence in children is a vital aspect of educating. As they mature and blossom, their self-esteem develops and they realize that there is a beautiful world open for them to discover and play a pivotal role in. I do not lecture, I merely bring forth what is already imprinted in the child from birth.
Ms. Sonya Pacheco
Sr. Kindergarten Elementary Teacher
“At Little Owl we have a wide range of teaching approaches that give students the tools they need to succeed. The teachers also work together, collaborating and sharing ideas in the commitment to giving students a well rounded experience.”
Ms. Larysa Teslyuk
Elementary Teacher
“Little Owl is a united and caring community. We have a warm and cozy atmosphere where students can feel appreciated. There are many educational resources that children can use to grow with and that teachers use to develop children’s reading, writing, and speaking skills.”
Ms Yumi Ruohan Nje
Senior Kindergarten Teacher
There are plenty of exciting points about stepping in the field of early learning care program and to be a teacher. O have found myself to understand their wonderful internal world. Each child is a colorful world, as long as you are sincere and patient to observe them, then you can read their hearts. I love helping children learn by discovering their interests in order to plan specific activities for them. I enjoy guiding children and be the pioneer for them when they explore the world and have questions.

Great Experience!
Olena Formich
“Our experience with Little Owl has been great. Little Owl provided us with the best care my daughter could have outside of our own home. She learned so much, had fun, made friends and truly enjoyed her time at Little Owl. We live in Richmond Hill and Little Owl was a destination place for our family. We love the school and are sad to go. We recommend it to any other parent!”
