Donalyn Preuter>
My name is Mrs. Donalyn, and I am happily married to Mr. Fred. I am a mom of 4 and an Oma of 6 grandchildren. My family is so important to me and I thank God for them.
I love working with children, as they bring such joy! Throughout my life I have volunteered at the Children’s Hospital, taught Sunday School, along with helping in our children’s schools. I operated my own dayhome for over 20 years while our children were growing up and during this time I completed the Child Care Assistant course from Red Deer College.
September of 2009 I started working at Red Deer Montessori Preschool as a Directress (teacher). In the year of 2010 I completed both Montessori courses Level 1 and 2 for 3 – 6 year olds. I have also attended Montessori conferences which have encouraged and empowered me to be the best I can be in the classroom.
I have a passion for Montessori as I see how it enables children to grow and learn with self motivation. I am thankful to be able to teach with a wonderful team at Red Deer Montessori and to direct children within our classes.

Grace Bysterveld
My name is Grace, I am married with 2 boys. I was born in Red Deer and raised in Delburne on a farm. I moved from Delburne to Red Deer in 2004.
I joined the child care industry in March of 2005. I started off by doing a licensed daytime. While doing daytime I completed my Child Development Assistant certificate, Step ahead provider training, child psychology diploma and administrative legal computer. Once my 2 children were in school full time, I decided to seek work outside of the home where I started working in a daycare centre here in Red Deer.
I have gained so much knowledge since being in a daycare setting. I am always finding ways to expand my knowledge and learn different ways to positively impact our next generation.
I joined the Red Deer Montessori team at the beginning of April 2019 and attended the Montessori conference. I was very inspired by the information at the conference and am eager to continue learning and educating myself with the Montessori Method. I am looking forward to this journey and what it will bring to my life.
Ashlee Mckague
Hi, I am very excited to join Red Deer Montessori as a pre school assistant.
In the last year I received my CDA Certificate. I have always had a great love for working with children and helping them learn and develop as they grow and I am thoroughly enjoying my new position and am very excited to grow with the team. I have previous experience with children in a daycare setting and truly enjoyed the bonds and time spent together. I have my first aid and an up to date CRC. Most of my experience working with children has been through life’s experiences it has always been one of my favourite. I have a niece and nephew that I love spending time with and continue to help them grow and learn. Although most of my career has been in the culinary industry, I can honestly say that I find this career path much more rewarding and look forward to a lengthy career and growing with Red Deer Montessori.
As a new mother and single parent I understand the importance of patience and encouraging them to be the best they can be. I am so thankful to be a part of this amazing team.
