About Us
Our Philosophy
“Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten”
– Lilo & Stitch
This program has been created based on family. Our values are founded on respect, love, learning, praise and encouragement. Ohana Academy aspires to be your child’s home away from home.
We are committed to providing an opportunity for children to learn, discover and play in a warm and loving environment. We strive to inspire them to grow and develop socially, emotionally and intellectually and spark their imagination to endless possibilities.
Our program respects and values differences, recognizing children are individuals and that every child is unique. We will help them learn how to get along and cooperate with other children and adults, develop skills through active games, and solve problems in their relationships with peers. This will form a positive, confident attitude and personal accomplishment. By providing a structured yet flexible program, the children develop these skills through their activities.
Creating loving relationships with more than just blood relatives is what Ohana is all about.

Meet Taryn
I am the founder of Ohana Academy. Growing up I’ve always known I wanted to work with young children. Their outlook on life and brilliant minds are infectious and I love being surrounded by that everyday. I have been working in the ECE field since 2015. I graduated Douglas College with an Associate of Arts Degree with hopes of becoming a teacher. However, once I started working at a daycare I knew this was where I belonged. During my spare time I love to go paddle boarding, hiking, and walks with my dog. I also love all foods (especially sushi), watching hockey, and attending concerts. But most of all I love to spend my time with my friends, family and dog Emmie.
