Chaya Lederman

My name is Chaya Lederman. I was born in South Africa and grew up in Australia. I have been teaching for over 20 years, and teaching has always been a true passion of mine. I am currently enrolled in the Early Childhood Education program at Georgian College as I continue to grow as an educator and deepen my understanding of early childhood learning.

I believe teaching is about so much more than academics. It is about making a meaningful difference in children’s lives, helping them build confidence, discover their strengths, and develop a lifelong love of learning. I am especially passionate about nurturing a strong Jewish identity and instilling in my students a deep pride in being Jewish, while encouraging them to grow into kind, caring and thoughtful mensches.

Outside of school, I am a wife, a proud mom of four children, and the very proud mom of the cutest dog! I feel incredibly fortunate to do what I love every day and look forward to creating a warm, nurturing and joyful environment where every child feels valued and inspired to shine.
