About Me

Hello,

My name is Victoria King, and this is my first year teaching at St. Jude's Academy. I have previously worked at a child care centre for 4 years as a supply, while I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Leadership. While I was a supply, I worked with all age groups from infants to kindergarten. Once I had graduated, I took on a full-time position in a preschool classroom. I am very excited to begin my journey at St. Jude's Academy. I look forward to an exciting year working with your children and you! Please do not hesitate to contact me for any reason!

Ms. King
