Charlene A Bunnell-McAlister

Director

I began my journey with this company as a preschool teacher in 1999. I have worked in the field of childcare since 1993. As an assistant, I really shined during the pandemic, helping both staff and families work through the trying times that Covid had brought. That same year, me and my family expanded and relocated to Ontario. I have been the director her at Childtime since July 2021 and look forward to you and your little ones join our family.
