Splash Child Enrichment Centre Educators

Andria Martens

Early Childhood Educator II

Hi I’m Andria. I am a trained Early Childhood Educator, with over ten years experience in both child care centers and nannying. I am a patient, fun and encouraging mom of two, who strives to provide a safe and nurturing environment for children while allowing for them to learn and play. I love being outside and expressing myself creatively in art and music. I understand the importance of learning and reading too but it’s always best to learn while having fun. I will help children develop all aspects cognitively, physically, emotionally and socially.

I started to work with children in 2015 as an ESL (English as a second language) teacher in China.  I continued to work as an Early child educator in Tajikistan.

My goal is to help children develop their physical, cognitive, social-emotional and language skills and at the same time enjoy their childhood.
