Meet the Director

Samantha Heather

I’m Samantha Heather, the Centre Director at Little Willows Whonnock, by Kids & Company. I graduated from Douglas College in 2000 and have been working in child care for over 25 years. I am passionate about this field because I believe in fostering a strong sense of teamwork among staff, parents, and caregivers, ensuring that every child in our care can thrive and grow as an individual. I enjoy working at Kids & Company because it truly feels like being part of a community that values children’s curiosity and individuality.

My two daughters started at Little Willows Whonnock in July 2025 and love going every day. The blend of outdoor preschool and daycare programs gives them both independent time and shared experiences on a beautiful property with playgrounds, forest, and even a chicken. The warm, caring teachers and approachable director make this an outstanding centre and we will not be sending our kids anywhere else.

The best preschool experience you could ask for! The staff and program made the transition smooth for our sensitive almost three-year-old, providing support, kindness, and respect. We absolutely love our school!

— MK

Both of our daughters have attended Little Willows Whonnock for years and it has been one of the best parts of their childhoods, helping them grow and form close friendships. The Director and educators create a warm, supportive environment, and each teacher builds meaningful relationships with the kids. The amazing location offers plenty of outdoor play, a playground, forest area, and fun activities, making this centre a true gem in the community.
