Meet our Directors
Pamela Archibald
Pam graduated from what is now known as the Jane Norman College with a diploma in Early Childhood Education (ECE) in 1994. As a lifelong learner who advocates for continuing education, she is currently working on completing her Child and Youth Study degree at Mount Saint Vincent University. Pam is excited to be part of the Willowbrae Academy family supporting families and building meaningful relationships that foster the growth and development of the whole child. She values the importance of the early years and its significance in building a strong foundation for success and growth throughout the life course. Her career has grown from working directly in the classroom with children from infants through to school age to owning and directing her own daycare and most recently held a position as director in a licensed childcare center. She loves spending time with the children (telling jokes and enjoying snuggles!) while following positive practices and the value of play-based learning. During her free time, she enjoys spending quality time with her family and pets, outdoor excursions, music and poetry, and the next best seasons on Netflix.

Julie Patterson
Julie obtained her honors diploma in Early Childhood Education (ECE) from Algonquin College of Applied Arts and Science in Ottawa, Ontario, in 1997. Throughout her 23 years in the ECE field, Julie has worked in various settings from private childcare to large centers catering to military families in Halifax, owned and directed her own childcare facility, managed a club for school-age children, and has now found a new home with Willowbrae Academy. Throughout Julie’s career, she has focused her passions and childcare philosophy on play as the biggest learning/teaching tool, as all child development areas stem from play. Through play, we build relationships, the relationships foster trust, when we trust, we take risks and experiment, and through those risks and experiments, we learn. Julie is very excited to join the team at Willowbrae Academy and feels that she will complement their philosophy and continue to grow and learn alongside the children and team. In her free time, Julie can be found with her husband at a baseball field or basketball court watching their children or on a walking trail with her chocolate lab.
