Mrs. Anne-Marie Petriczko - Chef
I am very excited to join the staff at Northstar Montessori as the Chef. I have my Red Seal and have graduated from George Brown College for Culinary Arts. I have been working in the hospitality industry for over 12 years in restaurants, as a caterer and as a personal Chef. Along with my love of food I also enjoy dance. I am a Ukrainian dancer for the Barvinok School of Ukrainian dance as well a dance teacher with students from the age of 6-28. I look forward to cooking for the students of Northstar Montessori. I hope to encourage them to eat healthy, delicious food and to intrigue their curiosity about food and new flavours.
Ms. Tai Kerlow - Chef Assistant
I grew up cooking a lot with my grandma and my mom. It has always been a passion of mine. I have worked in the food industry for over 15 years and I am really looking forward to having the opportunity to work with the children and share my love of food with them.
When I am not in the kitchen you can find me on the baseball diamond, or on a trail somewhere with my partner and my dog.
I look forward to a great year at Northstar.
