Taya Whitehead

VP, Education & Students at Selkirk College

I have been an instructor at Selkirk College since 2008. I have been working in the child care field for 14 years, 8 of which I spent as the program manager for the West Kootenay Boundary Supported Child Development Program.

I sit on the Board of Directors for the Early Childhood Educators of British Columbia (president-elect), the Board of Directors for Kootenay Family Place and the Board of Directors for the West Kootenay Boundary Community Services Co-operative. I am also a member of a number of local and regional child care related committees and tables.

I have a young family, so we spend a lot of our time enjoying the outdoor beauty of the Kootenay region, in particular the Arrow Lakes. I was drawn to the beauty of the area from the Lower Mainland and the appeal of the small class sizes. It is for those two reasons that I have stayed in the West Kootenays and returned to Selkirk College as an instructor.
