Barb Brown Director of Child Development Centre

I have lived all my life in the Lower Mainland, and moved to Surrey shortly after my husband Steve and I were married in 1986. We started attending Cedar Grove at that time as well. Having ECE background, I joined the CDC committee in 1992 while I was a full time mom to our two girls, Kellie and Stefanie. Shortly after that, our son Bryan was born.
