I am grateful” – Dianne Traynor
“Children have the uncanny ability to challenge and inspire in almost equal measure. I am grateful for the opportunity to experience my days through the lens of their adventures.
I humbly acquiesce to the fact that I have gained as much knowledge as I have imparted during my time at Compass. Thank you to the families for sharing your amazing children with me. “ -Kirsty Mason
” I have been with Compass for 5 years now. When I was hired I was in the middle of deciding if I would finish my ECE after taking a leave to have my daughter. Compass brought back and re- inspired me about the amazing work we do with children every day. I stay because I know my voice and ideas are valued. I enjoy our culture, and that we have opportunities to come together and share across three regions. I also choose Compass for the supportive, and caring group of educators who are my colleagues. I wouldn’t know what to do without their support. “
“I feel very fortunate to have started with Compass in the past few months. They are very warm and welcoming. During my transition, everything has been fantastic, and the room to grow with this company is awesome. All the support the educators receive is beautiful. I am very excited to see what my future holds here. “
