Building Blocks Learning Centre Staff

Jayme Stubbert; Building Blocks Owner/Operator

Jayme has been working in the ECE field since starting her schooling in 2004 at Langley College.  She has worked at a few different childcare settings until she decided to open up her own in 2008.  She worked on the floor full time until her son was born in 2011, where she then started to forsee the centre and be the number one sub (or third teacher for extra learning).  Her true, caring feelings for children show when you see her working and playing with the children.  You can see this through the connections she makes and her warm heart.  She believes a relationship with not only the children, but their family’s as well are a huge component in the ECE field.    You will often see her joking with the children, having one-on one conversations to build a true relationship, or making a messy masterpiece at the creation station!  She loves to work together and create the best, most rewarding program she possibly can!

Brittany Nelson; Preschool/School Age Teacher since 2018

Brittany is a graduate of the ECE program at the University of the Fraser Valley.  She graduated from ECE in 2018, with a minor in psychology. In 2017 Brittany did her first practicum with us and made immediate connections with the children, parents, and staff right away and we felt we had to have her part of our centre. She joined the Building Blocks family as one of our main preschool teachers, as well as part of our school age program in 2018. She has this warm, nurturing, positive energy that allows her to create rapports with all children. She loves to watch them learn and grow as individuals and it really shows in her work with children and families.  You will often see her setting up/playing with the children in dramatic play and chasing them on the playground. Brittany recently became a mom in December 2022 to her son.  

Rhiannon Verhulst; Support/School Age Teacher since 2020

Rhiannon has taken her ECE-A certificate and is continuing her goal to get her ECE to pursue her passion working with children.  Her passion comes out in her fun attitude and creativity with the children! She has worked as a guides leader, support teacher, and is our after school teacher .  You will often see her right down with the children engaging in some fun activities.  Her open, genuine love for children is visible through each interaction and relationship she makes. While children grow up and move on, her bond with them stays strong.

Paige Lietzmann; Support/School Age Teacher since 2023

Paige was volunteering at Building Blocks in 2022 deciding what she wanted to do with her career.  She loved the programs so much she went back to school in 2023 to get her ECE-A and work towards getting her ECE.  while she was going to school she worked in the preschool doing support work with our preschool children.  Once she completes her ECE she would like to wokr in the preschool program, but for now she is working in our school age program with our older children.  Paige has a kind, caring, and comapssionate heart and loves to see children thrive in social settings.  You will find her often playing on the floor with the children and being actively involved.  Her calm behaviour makes for a very positive environment.
