✺ Ms. Kasha - Director/Owner
Hello, I'm Kasha Levie, the Director/Owner of Loving to Learn Preschool & Daycare
I am passionate about: Teaching Children, Building meaningful relationships with families & Empowering my educators
My goal is to ensure our program provides a safe and nurturing environment for every child to learn and grow.
In my leisure time, I enjoy horseback riding and caring for the many animals on my farm. I am blessed with two wonderful children and a supportive husband who encourages my adventurous dreams.
Why I Love Teaching Preschool
I have dedicated nearly two decades to nurturing and shaping the minds of our future generations. It's incredibly gratifying to witness these children grow and achieve developmental milestones. I believe there's no better way to spend my life; children are a gift and they teach us as much as we teach them.

✺ Ms. Keisha - Preschool Educator
Hello! I live in Lacombe with my husband Nathan, and our two daughters, Everly and Ophelia. We have a dog named Navi and a cat named Peanut Butter! I enjoy spending time with my family. We like to go camping, and we have weekly games and movie nights. I also love doing anything craft related, drinking coffee and reading. I am proud to be a graduate of RDP and to have earned my Level 2 ELCC.
Why I Love Teaching Preschool
I choose to work with children because ever since I was a young girl I always wanted to be a teacher, so after being a stay at home mom for the last seven years, I decided to follow my dream. I love working with children and seeing their eyes light up when they discover something new. I find inspiration everyday working with kids, teaching them, and helping to shape them for the transition to elementary school.

Ms. Ellesse - Educator
I have had the privilege of working at Loving to Learn for the past five years. After being a stay-at-home mom for eleven years I wanted to get back into the workforce. I loved watching my own kids grow and loved helping at their school, so I decided to start my journey into early childhood education. My husband and I have lived in central Alberta our whole lives with our two amazing kiddos. As a family, we love board games, movies, and family adventures to try new things. I love to bake, read and try my absolute hardest to keep my plant babies alive.
Why I Love Teaching Preschool
I love to teach preschool because I absolutely love watching a child’s little mind work as they learn or discover new things. Looking at the world through a child’s eyes is to truly see how beautiful our world is. Being there to help guide them through problem solving, navigating new friendships and learning a new skill is an absolute privilege. I enjoy being there as they step into the big wild world of learning and discovery.
