Meet The Team

President
Tanya
I volunteer with CHIPS because I believe deeply in the power of learning through play. With a background in education, including early childhood, as well as psychology, and my experience as a mom of five, I’ve seen firsthand how play sparks curiosity, growth, and connection. I’m passionate about creating programs that support children’s development while giving families a welcoming space to learn, laugh, and play together.

Vice-President
Keesha Paddock
I began volunteering with CHIPS shortly after moving to Wetaskiwin, and it’s been such a wonderful way to connect. As a mom, one of my greatest joys is watching my son explore his creativity—whether it’s through arts and crafts or his love of trains. CHIPS has given us a warm, welcoming space where he can grow and imagine, and where I can be part of a community that celebrates learning and play.

Rental Coordinator and Volenteer Opener
Stephanie
I am a proud mother of five and hold a Level 2 Early Childhood Education diploma. With over 15 years of experience working with children, I am passionate about nurturing growth and development through play-based learning. I enjoy encouraging kids to live active lifestyles and love finding opportunities to explore and learn in nature. Volunteering gives me the chance to share my skills and passion with the community while supporting families in creating positive experiences for their children.

Programs Coordinator
Tabea
I joined CHIPS because I wanted a warm, welcoming place to take my kids during the winter months. It’s been such a wonderful space for them to play and burn off energy, and for me, it’s also become a great place to connect with other parents and build community.

Fundraising Coordinator and Volunteer Opener
Esther
I first decided to join C.H.I.P.S. as a way to get out of the house, and it quickly became a wonderful part of our routine. One of the things my child loves most is that the toys are always on rotation, so there’s something new and exciting for them every time—we never get tired of a room! I’m looking forward to volunteering for another year and being part of such a fun, supportive community.

Volunteer with CHIPS
We’re always excited to welcome new volunteers into the CHIPS family! Right now, we have openings for Monday and Tuesday afternoons, and we are desperately seeking an evening volunteer (any day of the week). The community has been asking for an evening option, and with your help, we’d love to make it happen!
If you have skills to share—or if you’re interested in making a bigger impact by joining our board—we’d be thrilled to chat. We are currently looking to fill the roles of Events Coordinator and Fundraising Coordinator. At CHIPS, we pride ourselves on being a welcoming and inclusive community, where everyone works together to get the job done. If you’re ready to be part of a team that makes a difference, we’d love to hear from you!
