Leanne Howard
Teacher
Leanne has experience in numerous child care fields since graduating from Grande Prairie Regional College where she received her Diploma as a Child Development Supervisor (Level 3).
After moving back to Edmonton and starting her family, she stayed home with her children and loved being able to volunteer with her children’s schools. Once the children were old enough, she took on subbing at the Preschool when needed after having her youngest attend the program there.
Leanne has been part of the Parkview Preschool team since coming back in 2021 where she loves seeing the children grow each and every class.
