Meet Our Team

JESSICA CHIU
Executive Director

I graduated from the U of A with my Bachelor of Education, and I took over as the director of MCCS in 2007. I’m so proud of the team and program we’ve cultivated here. One of my favorite quotes is from Mr. Rogers, “Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood”.

I have been working with school age kids since high school, and in out of school cares since I moved to Edmonton from New Brunswick in 2002! I love to build and ride custom bicycles with my friends.

I grew up in Red Deer and completed my BEd at U of A in 2004. I have been working and volunteering with kids since I was in high school as a tutor, babysitter, rugby coach and TA. I enjoy building and riding custom bicycles, attending live music and theatre events, and designing and sewing clothes. I love movies & ghost stories. My hobbies include building and painting model kits and collecting cool stuff. I sometimes work as an actor, but I miss being in a band.

I am a student at Grant MacEwan, and I would love to teach kids someday. I really enjoy working at MCCS. My favorite thing to do with the kids is coloring and playing board games.

I really like learning about science, especially about your immune system and the germs that make you sick. My hobbies include reading sci-fi books, board games and doing escape rooms. A friend and I started a coding/robotics club that we implemented at MCCS, and that's what led me to obtain a part-time job here!
