The Buddings Staff
Buddings is owned and operated by Lawrence and Talia Erickson, and supervised by Jenny Bachhuber. You may be interested to know that all three live in East Van (Mount Pleasant and the Drive), are commuter cyclists, and share their workspace with Benson Poodle, rescued from the SPCA in 2008.
Lawrence Erickson, ECE.
Lawrence is a newly graduated Early Childhood Educator, having completed his degree in 2011, after an intensive 8-week practicum exercise. (We’re so proud of his A-minus final grade!) Prior to his retraining, he worked for over a decade in the restaurant construction industry where he developed his skills as both a competent builder and successful sales manager. Now, armed with his new toolbox of amazing felt stories and creative science activities, he’s looking forward to getting down and dirty in his new field!
Lawrence’s son Hunter is three (born Christmas day!) and visits Vancouver, from his home in Kelowna, once or twice a month. He has been a biking baby since the age of one and thinks the coolest thing about his apartment in Vancouver is the home-made compost bin or “bug box” in the yard. It is, indeed, full of bugs.
Talia Erickson, BA.
Talia is the environmentalist of the family. She has worked in the Vancouver bike scene for the past 4 years, with Momentum Magazine, Bike to Work Week, and as the Membership/Development Coordinator for the Vancouver Area Cycling Coalition. She is the proud designer of the above-mentioned bug box and is always looking for ways to reduce the family footprint.
Her experience with office administration, event planning, website management and communications make her a natural for managing the office, accounts, and sustainability policies at Buddings.
Jenny Bachhuber, ECE., BA.
Jenny brings the daycare experience to the table, with over six years working in the field, creating amazing learning environments for children, and supporting families. She holds a 5 year ECE License to Practice in BC, as well as an Honors Degree in Psychology. Jenny moved to Vancouver in 2009 from Ottawa, where she taught Part-Time Studies Instructor of ECE Emergent Curriculum Courses at Algonquin College, and planned and implemented programming within preschool and kindergarten childcare programs.
Jenny is passionate and experienced in embracing the Emergent Curriculum style, ensuring children are enjoying their time and experiences. Her monthly plan, incorporating inspirational topics and a variety of activities, teaches kids to explore our world from all angles.
