Yura Choi 
Director, Infant Room Educator
ECE Level 3

​Hello! My name is Yura Choi, director and Infant room educator here at It Takes a Village Childcare Centre - Clayton Park. I believe that the journey of learning starts at birth and continues throughout our lives. I value lifelong learning. My goal as an early childhood educator is to foster a love of curiosity and creativity, nurturing a lifelong passion for exploration and knowledge in every child. Little bit about myself apart from working with children is that I love being in nature! My favourite trail to go is Duncan’s Cove featuring beautiful coastal views of the Atlantic Ocean.
Thank you for choosing It Takes a Village Daycare Society. We can't wait to get to know you and be a part of your child's lifelong learning adventure!
