Board
Region 1 - Moncton | | | | Michelle LeblancI was born in Moncton on May 2, 1979, and I have lived in the Moncton area most of my life. In 1998, I graduated from Moncton High School and then moved to Truro for two years to take my ECE. I graduated with my diploma in 2001. I have been working in the child care field for eight years now at "Little Treasures Child Care Center". I have my own classroom and I have children ranging from two years old to five years old. It's a great feeling waking up each day and truly enjoying going to work. It is very rewarding knowing I am helping shape the children I take care of.
Being actively involved in ECCENB is very important to me. Not only does it keep me up to date on all that is going on in the field, but I am helping make the Early Childhood field become the best it can. Aside from being the rep for Region 1, I am also the treasurer for our region.
In my spare time, I enjoy being with my family and friends. I also enjoy cardio kickboxing, watching hockey, four wheeling, and watching movies.
I joined the Board of Directors to become more active in the field. To learn, gain knowledge, and be able to share it with our members. I want to be part of the changes going on. We have taken amazing strides. The Early Childhood field is my passion.

I received my ECE certificate in 2006 from Saint John Community College. I am very passionate about my work and feel we have a very important role.
I feel I am ready for this next step. I want to learn more and be a part of something great!
