Mary Pagnotta - Assistant Co-ordinator
After receiving her Diploma in Early Childhood Education in 1995, Mary soon began working at TOSS and hasn't looked back since. Mary celebrated her 22nd year this year and looks forward to many more fun-filled TOSS years! Mary is a kid at heart and no matter what she is doing, whether she's knee deep in a messy art project, playing the oh so popular game of candyland, or helping children problem solve, Mary is always smiling and having fun!

Cassandra Gordon - Afterschool Programmer (TOSS 002)
Hailing from Saskatoon Saskatchewan, Cassandra has been part of the TOSS team since January of 2012. Her passion for working with children sparked when she herself was enrolled in summer camps. Cassandra began her childcare career with the YWCA and has since worked for numerous not-for-profit organizations. Cassandra can usually be found with the 002s, wearing her favourite flower apron, or bouncing from game to craft. Stop by and she'll share one of her ridiculous stories with you.

Cynthia Lam - Afterschool Programmer (TOSS 1)
Cynthia has been with TOSS since 2013. Over the past 4 years she has shared many laughs and treasured moments with the children and staff at TOSS. Cynthia enjoys working with children because of their tireless enthusiasm to share learn and grow. Her philosophy on child care is simple: get down to the children’s level. It’s pretty amazing to see things from their perspective. As many of the kids will testify, Cynthia has a love affair with chocolate. However, she also tries to promote healthy eating and exercise. When she's not at TOSS, Cynthia can be found bounding up a mountain. It's all about balance.

Jillian Sharpe - Out-of-School Care Staff
Call me Jill, or as the kids call me, Jilly Bean! I am excited and thrilled to be a part of the TOSS staff team. I have a great deal of experience working with children, usually in out of school care programs. I enjoy using my imagination, and try to incorporate my love for acting while interacting with the children. In my spare time I enjoy being outdoors, doing Zumba and working on some of my art, including pottery. I am looking forward to getting to know all of you!
