Lori C-K

Lori started Stepping Stones Langdon Preschool in 2009. In 2018 she expanded to include a successful before and after school program.  Her dream of creating a learning facility for children became a reality and it is now known as the "Langdon Learning Centre" or commonly referred to as the "LLC" 

It was Lori's love of coaching gymnastics for children aged 3-12 in her younger years that inspired her to broaden her work with children into early childhood education. Lori's caring adoration towards children puts them right at ease. She is married with one son and has resided in Langdon for over 20 years.

In August of 2021, Lori sold the company to a lovely couple from Calgary who has extensive child care knowledge and experience running child care programs. The Sharma's would like to expand the business to compliment Langdon's upcoming growth. Lori will stay on with the LLC as an office administrator (she just can't seem to let go of her baby) for as long as she is needed. 

Personal Comment

My love for children of all abilities reminds me of how wonderful it is to be a child and how blessed I am to be a part of their early learning experience. I am dedicated to ensuring our cherished childcare program maintains quality & affordability for our community.   

I love Langdon and value everyone who has helped in our success. When you enroll at the Langdon Learning Centre, you become part of our family. When I run into a past student, I am thrilled to see how much they have grown and I am proud to have been a part of their growth process.
