Our Team
At Marina Bay Academy we have two infant – toddler programs and 2 preschool programs of 16 chidlren. Our programs are designed to meet the needs of both children and families through specific goals and objectives. We focus on building off of the strengths of each child, taking advantage of every teachable moment. During our extra curriculum activities, children will have the opportunity to develop social skills, enhance cognitive development and build self esteem. At Marina Bay Academy we offer Zumba, Music and Movement, English and French, Soccer , Taekwondo with Master Kiho, Yoga and Ballet.
Our team consists of highly qualified and dedicated professionals who are passionate about early childhood education and providing the best care for children. Each member of our team holds an Early Childhood Educator (ECE) certification, with specializations in Infant-Toddler and Special Needs education. This ensures we are equipped to meet the diverse developmental needs of all children in our care.
In addition to their qualifications, our educators have undergone thorough background checks and are certified in first aid, ensuring the highest level of safety and professionalism. Each team member also brings valuable prior experience in the field, contributing to a wealth of knowledge and expertise in fostering a nurturing and stimulating environment for children.
We maintain optimal educator-to-child ratios to ensure each child receives individualized attention and care. In our Infant-Toddler classroom, the ratio is 1 educator for every 4 children, and in our 3–5 program, the ratio is 1 educator for every 8 children. To further support the children and enhance the quality of care, we always have additional educators on-site to provide extra help when needed.
Our educators thoughtfully plan spontaneous activities throughout the day based on the children’s strengths, interests, and needs, creating opportunities for meaningful learning experiences. In addition, we develop weekly program plans tailored to support each child’s developmental goals and to promote growth across all areas of learning.
Since the inception of our program, we have maintained a consistent and cohesive team. This stability allows us to build strong relationships with the families we serve and provide a sense of continuity and trust for the children. Our shared commitment to excellence in early childhood education creates a collaborative and supportive environment where every child can thrive.

Mitsuko
Hello, my name is Mitsuko.
When I first came to Canada, I realized that people here are very kind, and thoughtful, respect others and have self-confidence. I wondered “what has made this difference”?
This is the reason why I started my interest in education. I started studying ECE, and learned that early care makes a big difference in a child’s life, and these experiences made me a constant learner.
I would love to make each child and their family’s future happier by supporting them physically and mentally. I believe the environment of Marina Bay Academy Educational Childcare is one of the best places for children, parents, and educators.
(One of my favorite Canadian musicians said “it’s cool to go places where working people are happy”, and I am happy enough to share my positive vibes now). I am looking forward to meeting all of you.

Analyn Dullano
Hello! My name is Analyn Dullano,
As an Early Years Educator with an Early Childhood Education certification, I am dedicated to nurturing safe, caring, and positive relationships with children, inspiring them to explore, question, and make sense of the world around them.
Currently, I am furthering my studies to specialize in Infant and Toddler Education as well as Special Needs Education. My goal is to create a learning environment that empowers each child, respect their individuality, and supports their holistic development and well-being.
I believe play is fundamental to children’s daily lives, and I strive to create a space where they feel secure, comfortable, and free to express themselves openly. During my free time, I enjoy cooking and baking with my three children, Khelly, Des, and Thyrdone.

Taekwondo Master Kiho
Hello! I am Master Kiho, a dedicated Taekwondo instructor with over a decade of experience as both a Taekwondo master and a preschool teacher. My academic background in Early Childhood Education, coupled with years of hands-on experience working with children, has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of their developmental needs and the importance of fostering happiness and confidence from an early age.
I believe that Taekwondo offers children far more than physical activity. It plays a vital role in their early development by promoting discipline, focus, and self-confidence while instilling core values such as respect, perseverance, and teamwork. My philosophy centers on creating an environment where children can thrive—not just as students, but as individuals. While technique is important, I prioritize building their self-esteem and fostering a love for learning through active play and meaningful connection.
At Kiho’s Taekwondo, we are proud to have welcomed 300 enthusiastic students across BC, creating a community where children can grow physically, emotionally, and socially. I am committed to making every class a space where students learn Taekwondo and gain the skills and confidence to navigate life’s challenges.
Let’s continue to inspire, grow, and empower young minds together!
