Shalinder Bains,

Dan van den Bergh
OSC Manager

Hello!

My name is Shalinder Bains. I am an ECE teacher, a Health Care Aide, and the new owner of Playland Daycare Center. I currently own 2 daycares: Little Cabineers Child Care and Playland Daycare Center.

I have completed my Early Childhood Education Assistant Program from Vancouver Community College in December 2017 and my Early Childhood Education Program from Vancouver Community College in February 2019.

I opened my first daycare of 8 children in Surrey, in August 2019, which I recently closed in February 2021. I also bought a daycare of 28 children in Vernon, in October 2020. Aside from that I have a part time job in a hospital as a Health Care Aide.

I look forward to meeting everyone and I can’t wait to spend time growing and working with you.

Thank you to all the staff, parents, and children of Playland Daycare Center for giving me this opportunity to grow in such an incredible and friendly environment. 

 

Dan is one of our Out of School Care program manager. He's a certified RA, and holds Emergency Childcare First Aid and CPR Level B certification.
As a father to a teen and an adult child Dan has experience with children of all ages, as well as a knowledgeable and compassionate understanding for children experiencing mental health and learning disability challenges.  Dan enjoys camping, beaches and the outdoors.  He’s also an avid hockey fan!  Go Leafs Go!
