Stacey Macklon

As our Pedagogical Coordinator and lead teacher for all classes, Stacey has a bachelor of child studies degree from Mount Royal University and years of experience working with children in all walks of life. She is passionate about creating inclusive, safe, caring, and fun environments for children and families. Stacey has loved working with children for as long as she can remember. She loves that it is an environment that supports reciprocal learning between educators and children. Stacey loves exploring and learning alongside children, supporting them in their interests and creating an environment that supports their holistic development. She is really passionate about sharing her love for the outdoors and nature with the children while ensuring that she respects their boundaries and takes into account their interests and needs. For her, early childhood education is exciting because no day is the same. When working with children you have to expect the unexpected because even the best laid
plans don’t always go as planned!
Coming from the Yukon, Stacey has a passion for the outdoors and nature and she enjoys biking, paddle boarding, and adventuring with her partner and puppy Sage. She is excited to work, play, and learn at Rosedale Playschool!

Rebecca Neale

Rebecca will be working in all morning classes (3yr old & 4yr old), supporting the 3&4yr old afternoon class and oversees that administrative duties off the playschool. Rebecca completed the Child Studies Degree at Mount Royal University in 2020. We first met Rebecca when she completed her first practicum with us in 2016, and she was such a good fit; she has worked here ever since! Rebecca is the oldest of 4 girls, so she has always had the job of caregiver and role model – and she loves it! She has also worked at the Calgary Arts Academy, helping to facilitate a remedial reading program. While working with children, she found that children have inspired her to be more creative, to enjoy the little things and be silly! In return, she hopes to inspire children to be compassionate, empathetic, and caring. Rebecca’s passion and teaching practice centers on social learning, emotional regulation, and helping children discover their potential. Rebecca is very excited to teach and dedicate her time to making this school an inclusive place for all our children.
