Alexis Peters
Program Facilitator
Alexis’s passion for childcare began at an early age as she loved helping her mom in her day home and helping her care for the babies was her favourite. When she got older, she loved organizing activities for the children in her care, planning parties, theme days, and games.
Alexis began her childcare career as a private nanny for a wonderful family until the children grew up and the family no longer required childcare.
From there she transitioned to work at a private the day home for two years before getting into Early Learning Centers. Alexis then went to school to get her Early Childhood Education level 1 while working at Building Brains Early Learning Center.
She began her employment as a Campus Float staff and within a year she was promoted to being a Lead Teacher in the Right Brain classroom in the Junior Campus. This is where she has the most enjoyment, making children’s visions come to life while they learn though play.
Alexis has had many successes in the classroom, as some of her favourites are; turning the classroom into a hair salon, a winter wonderland and a Mexico vacation destination.
Alexis began with the FRC in September of 2024! Look out for her creativity throughout the Centre
