Rosedale Teachers
Victoria Talbot
Miss Victoria is our other teacher and will be taking the lead on Programming in both morning classes. Miss Victoria and Miss Rebecca attended Mount Royal University together and graduated from the Bachelor of Child Studies program in 2020. Rosedale Playschool has a special place in Miss Victoria’s heart as she has taught at Rosedale Playschool back in 2020. However, in 2022 she moved to Grande Prairie where she has spent the last 4 years working with children between the ages of 12 months and 12 years. Moving back to her home town of Calgary this past fall has been nothing short of serendipitous as she now returns to Rosedale Playschool. Her heart is so full having the opportunity to reconnect to the most wonderful community of families, and she is very much looking forward to getting to know all of you. She is grateful for the opportunity to be welcomed back and can’t wait to see what exciting adventures the rest of the school year has ahead.

Rebecca Neale
Rebecca will be working in all morning classes (3yr old & 4yr old), and oversees that administrative duties of 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.
