About Us

Marjan has done studies in the Early Childhood Education program and is continuing her studies at UBC in Infant Development and Supported Child Development program. For the past few years, she has worked as a Community Developer focusing her work in families with young children in North Shore. More recently, she worked as a Supported Child Development Consultant supporting positive inclusion of children with extra needs in programs. When her eldest child had to be enrolled in kindergarten, she started doing her research about Cove Cliff Elementary and noticed that a crucial piece was missing: Out Of School Care options. A few months later, Deep Cove Out Of School Care was born. Marjan is passionate about children. “I started volunteering to work with kids from a very early age. I always wanted to be a teacher or work in something related to the field. Our goal is to enhance the child’s development and, most importantly, provide a nurturing, safe, and secure environment. I think of my own children, what I want for them, and provide that to the other children.
