Program Supervisor
MS. JAMIE-LEE WAGLER
RECE, OCT, B.A.
Jamie-Lee has been working with children for over 12 years. She earned her Early Childhood Education diploma from Conestoga College in 2011, her Bachelor of Psychology in 2014, and her Bachelor of Education in 2015. Her love and passion for children started early on and have only flourished through her experience. From spending time with her nieces and nephew to getting dirty and learning lots with her own children, Jamie loves watching the emotion children show when they learn new things and accomplish new milestones. She strives to foster self-confidence in the children she teaches and celebrates the individuality and uniqueness in all learners. Above all else, she hopes that the main lesson that children walk away with after having her as an educator, is that they are kind. When she’s not at Cygnets she enjoys taking part in professional development and she owns her own Early Childhood Educational consulting business: Miss Jamie Consulting. You can follow her on Instagram: @missjamie_rece. Jamie is an advocate for early learning and Early Childhood Educators everywhere and strives to share the importance and benefits of high-quality learning environments!
Jamie values spending time with her family! This includes going paddle boarding with her two kids, husband, and their dog. Some of their other favourite things to do include going to parks, going for hikes, bike rides, and playing in the mud! She strongly believes that the best learning happens by living through situations rather than instructing, and fully encourages play-based learning across all grades.

"As a RECE, we help provide the opportunity to shape the lives of young children. I hope I can inspire the children’s love for learning and help them develop those important social skills needed for their future."
Randi strives to provide a caring, warm and safe environment for children to be themselves and she hopes the children look forward to coming to the program every day!
Ms. Stacey McIntosh
RECE
Stacey McIntosh recently graduated from the Early Childhood Education at Fanshawe College. She grew up in Stratford and loves the small-town community. Over the years she has enjoyed working with children from helping the little ones at dance class and babysitting. Working with children is my dream and I love watching all of them grow and become their own unique people. I am super excited to see what the future holds and can’t wait to continue as an ECE.
Mr. Liam McIntosh
RECE
Liam is excited to join Cygnets Co-Operative Preschool Centre. He is a graduate of the Early Childhood Education Programme at Fanshawe College in London. His passion for early childhood education comes from his wish to offer children and their families a childcare experience founded on kindness, caring and compassion.
Liam has siblings with autism spectrum disorder and was inspired to continue his education and go on to complete Fanshawe's post graduate certificate in Autism and Behaviourial Science.
Ms. Jazzlyn Harvey
RECE
Jazz graduated from Mohawk College in 2020 with an ECE diploma and is registered with the college of ECE's. She has been in the practice for 2 years professionally although she has been working with children for many years.
Starting out as a babysitter, then moving on to full in-home care, Jazz decided to take her love for children and education to the next level and get her diploma in early childhood education. It has been a rewarding time in her life to be part of children's lives and helping them grow within themselves to be strong and independent thinkers. She looks forward to many years as a RECE and the growth that she will encounter working alongside these amazing little humans.
