Sheila Gibson
Sheila Gibson has served in the early childhood community for the past 22 years. 14 of those years have been with Children’s Nest Day School. She thrived as a VPK teacher, became a team lead and is now the director of their Northdale site. Sheila has always enjoyed working with children but has really found her niche in being a director. She values being a part of the lives of the children, watching them grow, supporting her staff, and being involved with families that she serves.
