Meet the Director

Meet Chat Atienza! Hi, I’m Silayan Atienza, but you can call me Chat. I joined Kepler in March 2023. I’m a proud mom to my son and a dedicated housewife. Born and raised in the Philippines, I have a deep appreciation for creativity and learning. With over seven years of experience as a center director, I’ve developed strong leadership skills and a passion for fostering growth in my team and community. I have 6 yrs of experience working as a lead cargo agent in the airline industry, which sparkled my interest in logistics. In my free time, I enjoy craft making and diving into a good book. I finished Bachelor of Secondary Education major in English and having Level 3 certificate. I also had my diploma in Supply Chain Management Logistics and HealthCare Aide certificate. What led me to study Early Childhood Education is my deep passion for teaching and making a positive impact on children’s lives. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education, majoring in English, and when I moved to Canada, I obtained my Level 3 certification.

This allowed me to further pursue my passion for education, focusing on the foundational years of
a child’s development, where I believe I can make the greatest difference. My biggest reward as an educator is seeing the growth and development of the children I work with. There’s nothing more fulfilling than watching a child achieve a milestone, gain confidence, or develop new skills, knowing I played a part in their journey. The joy in their eyes and the connection I build with them and their families remind me every day why I love what I do.
