Our Teacher

Meet Teacher Patt!

Parents and children at Seymour Heights PPP agree that Patt Uren is our greatest asset. After being an enthusiastic PPP parent herself, Patt obtained her Diploma in Early Childhood Education in 1990. She has been our dedicated teacher since 1991.

Patt has received numerous awards for her continued excellence in the field of early childhood education, including the Goldie Maycock Award, the highest honour presented by the Council of Parent Participation Preschools in B.C. Her outstanding contributions to the parent participation preschool movement were recently recognized with the 2003 Parent Cooperative Preschools International District Award.
