Mrs. Mayada
Assistant Director
Ahlan Wa Sahln :) I hold a certification as an Early Childhood Educator from Alberta, as well as a Montessori Diploma from MMI London. Over the past 6 years, I have had the privilege of working as an educator in various educational settings from the exotic lands of Egypt and dazzling Dubai, I've seen it all - from teaching beneath the Egyptian pyramids to inspiring young minds amid the towering skyscrapers of the UAE. As an educator, I've had the privilege of imparting knowledge and curiosity in students from different corners of the world. When I'm not shaping the young minds of tomorrow, I'm a mother of two little princesses, seeking new adventures and embracing diverse cultures. The world is my playground, and I'm thrilled to share my experiences with your children. At Little Daisies Academy my mission is to create a nurturing and inspiring learning environment

Early Childhood Educator Level 3
Hello, I am Demi. I have a diploma in Early Learning and Child Care. It's so rewarding to support their development, watch them grow, and guide them during their early years.

Mrs. Sheetal
Early Childhood Educator Level 3
Hello, My name is Sheetal Khalid Rafiq, and I've always held a deep-seated passion for early childhood education. In January 2023, I embarked on a transformative journey when I began volunteering at Daisies Academy. This opportunity was more than just a role; it was a significant milestone in my practicum for the Early Learning and Childcare Certification. My commitment, combined with my fervor for nurturing young minds, paved the way for my subsequent position as an ECE Level 1 educator at the academy.
It's always been a dream of mine to work with children. Their curiosity, innocence, and boundless energy resonate with my soul, motivating me to give my best every single day. Outside the confines of my profession my hobbies, I find solace and joy in the simple pleasures of life. I cherish every moment I spend with my family, as these are the memories that remain etched in one's heart. Cooking allows me to express my creativity and love for others, while gardening connects me to nature, grounding me in the process. Cleaning, though seemingly mundane, gives me a sense of order and accomplishment.
Above all, my profession is not just a job to me; it's a lifelong learning journey. The world of early childhood education is vast and ever-evolving, and I have an unwavering passion for deepening my knowledge and improving my skills in this field.
