Sue Watt, after 30 plus years at Humber’s Child Development Centre (CDC), has retired. Her colleagues, the children in her care, and their families, will forever remember the influence that she had on them.

Throughout her career, her passion for holistic and healthy child development was seen in everything that she did. She was always singing, sharing her love of nature, and ensuring that children experienced the outdoors on walks as she felt it was essential to the social and emotional development of children and teachers alike.

Sue was instrumental in being a steadfast role model, not only for her colleagues, but also for the pre-service ECE students that were lucky enough to have her as a mentor. Even after 30+ years of service, Sue is fondly remembered throughout each day as the educators at the CDC work with children and their families as they continue to bring her philosophy of care to their daily lives and interactions with the future leaders of tomorrow.

Sue’s delicious homemade banana bread and other baked goods also hold a special place with all those that were fortunate enough to work alongside her. We hope that the next chapter of Sue’s life brings her as much happiness as her years spent at the CDC did. Sue, welcome to this phase of life, where every day is the weekend!

Thank you for your dedication over the years – you will be forever a member of the CDC family.
