Claire Chae

Early Childhood Educator

Hi! My name is Hyunsook Chae (Claire), and I’m so excited to be part of the Kuddles West Van team!

Originally from South Korea, I was a teacher with a passion for education. After moving to Vancouver, I wanted to continue this journey by focusing on early childhood education. Through parenting and study, I’ve come to deeply appreciate how essential the early years are in shaping a child’s development.

I believe in nurturing children's curiosity and creativity through play, music, and storytelling. I approach each moment with warmth, attentiveness, and purpose—creating an environment where children feel seen, safe, and inspired.

I currently live in beautiful North Vancouver with my 10-year-old son.

I’m truly grateful to be joining this community, and I can’t wait to learn and grow with all of you!
