About Us
Bonjour!
I would like to introduce myself to you. My name is Nicole Gallant-Daigle. The children call me Mme Gallant and I will be your child's French teacher this year. I am originally from New Brunswick and have been living in Ottawa for almost 20 years. I have been teaching with the Ottawa Catholic School Board for 20 years. Fifteen of those years have been with kindergarten. This is my eight year at St. John the Apostle School. I absolutely love working with the little ones! I truly enjoy seeing their excitement and curiosity about the world. I feel very blessed to be teaching kindergarten and at a wonderful school. I love what I do and hope to pass my love of learning on to my students.
When I'm not at school, I keep myself busy with my 3 kids who are 11, 15 and 17. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, doing outdoor activities and spending time with family and friends. I am looking forward to getting to know all the children and to have a fun-filled year with them!
Love,
Mme Gallant

Well Hello Parents,
I am Mrs. De Cristofaro-Slater, the children will be calling me Mrs. D. This is my tenth year teaching kindergarten at SJA and I love it! No other place I'd rather be then in a room full of kinders engaged in meaningful play. It never ceases to amaze me how much each child grows, learns and matures in these early years of life, and being part of that is a privilege. My husband and I have been married 23 years and we have two active boys, 16 and 13, whom we spend countless hours in a car with, driving them to soccer and hockey practices. We also have a 8 year old Bassett Hound named Mila and a new puppy, Luigi. I come from large Italian family and spend most of my extra time with them. I have a deep commitment to my faith and enjoy sharing my love for the Lord with the children, through prayer and praise and worship songs. I love being outside in nature and being active. Sign Language is also another interest of mine and I will be sharing that with the children through music and movement songs. I look forward to learning and growing with your child everyday!
Love, Mrs. De Cristofaro-Slater
“May the Lord bless you and keep you;
May He make His face shine upon you,
May He be gracious to you;
May the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.”
