Program Supervisor

Jamie-Lee Wagler, RECE, OCT, BA

Jamie-Lee has been working with children for over 14 years. She earned her Early Childhood Education diploma from Conestoga College in 2011, her Bachelor of Psychology in 2014, and her Bachelor of Education in 2015. Her love and passion for children started early on and have only flourished through her experience. From spending time with her nieces and nephew to getting dirty and learning lots with her own children, Jamie loves watching the emotion children show when they learn new things and accomplish new milestones. She strives to foster self-confidence in the children she teaches and celebrates the individuality and uniqueness in all learners. Above all else, she hopes that the main lesson that children walk away with after having her as an educator, is that they are kind. When she’s not at Cygnets she enjoys taking part in professional development and she owns her own Early Childhood Educational consulting business: Miss Jamie Consulting. You can follow her on Instagram: @missjamie_rece. Jamie is an advocate for early learning and Early Childhood Educators everywhere and strives to share the importance and benefits of high-quality learning environments! Jamie values spending time with her family! This includes going paddle boarding with her two kids, husband, and their dog. Some of their other favourite things to do include going to parks, going for hikes, bike rides, and playing in the mud! She strongly believes that the best learning happens by living through situations rather than instructing, and fully encourages play-based learning across all grades.
