Your contribution would be most appreciated and will support the legacy that Carol leaves behind.

The lab is a creative classroom complete with a one-of-a-kind ECE Resource Centre filled with educational materials, books and equipment used for in-class assignments and field practicums. A dedication plaque will be placed outside of the ECE Lab to honour Carol.

Carol Reid - ECE Educator

Carol Reid is a proud Humber graduate who began her teaching career at Humber in the Early Childhood Education program in 1989. From her first day of teaching until her retirement in 2014, Carol’s dedication to students and the community was characterized by her creativity and love of learning.

While at Humber, Carol dedicated her own time and resources to establish ECE Resource Centres at Humber and the University of Guelph-Humber so that students could benefit from using quality play materials in their training.

Outside of the classroom, Carol was committed to supporting Early Childhood Educators in the field, offering mentorship and leading workshops in various early learning centres.

Carol’s peers describe her as a complete mentor and role model and someone who always has a warm, supportive attitude.

The naming of the Carol Reid Early Childhood Education Lab is a fitting tribute to Carol’s extensive contributions to ECE and Humber College.
