Meet the Director
Courtney VanGemert
My name is Courtney VanGemert and I am the Centre Director at the Kids & Company Appleby location. I graduated from Sheridan College with a Diploma in Early Childhood Education. I have known I wanted to work with children ever since I was 12 years old and old enough to babysit. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. As well I enjoy camping, spending time in the sun, and shopping! Appleby has been my home since 2014 and I see my team as my family. Each day, the Kids & Company team works diligently to provide a superior nurturing and educational early learning environment for children to play, discover, and grow. We have a fantastic team of teachers who are dedicated to providing a warm learning environment for our children. Now that you know a bit about me, I would love to meet you and your family! Please come for a visit so you can see for yourself how Kids & Company Appleby can provide the right care and education for your child.
