Our Faculty

Our teachers are at the heart of our school. Their enthusiasm for early childhood learning and the care they take with the children in our classes is unparalleled. They design and deliver an evolving curriculum to meet your child's needs. Creative learning opportunities abound at SHPPP due to the attention and dedication of our teachers. 

Lori Hodder

Since starting her early childhood education career in 1988, Lori has worked in a variety of early learning programs including the Centre for Child Development, the Corporation of Delta and the Surrey School District. 

Teacher Lori began working at Sunshine Hills Parent Participation Preschool in 1995. She believes children are competent and capable learners and that our role as adults is to enhance their natural curiosity to create and explore while they build and strengthen their relationships with peers.

As an alumni family of SHPPP, Teacher Lori feels a strong sense of responsibility to ensure that current and future families have the same wonderful experience her family had at the ‘little preschool in the woods’. Her favourite part of the preschool day is opening the door and welcoming the children to the adventures that await!​

Alexandra Bagnall

Alexandra has been an ECE since 2006. She worked at a parent participation preschool in Vancouver for 10 years before starting a family of her own and moving to South Surrey. Alexandra is familiar with SHPPP, having visited on many occasions to share stories and songs.

Alexandra has a background in Orton-Gillingham and has worked in daycares over the years and has even worked abroad in Korea where she was an educator at a HABA preschool in Seoul. She is very mindful of where children are and what each individual child needs to thrive.  

We are happy to have Alexandra join the team and further develop relationships in the community.
