Educator


Juliana Lam was born and raised in Vancouver, BC and began her music studies at the age of 4 where she received many years of formal training in classical piano and contemporary voice. As a child, she competed and won at numerous music festivals and earned honours at Royal Conservatory of Music examinations. At the age of 16, she started her successful music studio teaching piano and theory. Currently she teaches 25 students at her studio in New Westminster where her students have received first class honours at RCM examinations.

Her early childhood education career began right after the birth of her first child in 2002, when she became extremely fascinated with baby brain development and infant stimulation. She began as a music and movement educator working with parents and their babies - newborn to age 3.5. Juliana then furthered her training and became certified to teach Baby Sign Language and Infant Massage.

Being a firm believer of infant stimulation, Juliana believes that in order to develop a well balanced brain and exceptional thinking skills, it is vital to stimulate babies with activities that use both the left and right side of the brain. Juliana seeks to promote teaching new parents to stimulate baby's brain soon after they are born by optimizing their mental, sensorial, social and affective development.

She is extremely proud of her capability and dedicates her abilities as an educator to bringing knowledge into the lives of new parents in a positive, supportive and encouraging way.

Besides being mom of 2, Juliana is very active in her community. She currently sits on her daughter's minor hockey team committee and is assistant coach. Juliana was formerly Director of the New Westminster Walk for Wishes, a sub-chapter of the Children's Wish Foundation of Canada, formerly Vice-Chair person for the Parent Advisory Committee of her daughter's preschool, and she has recently returned as Block Watch Coordinator and member of her strata council. Juliana also runs a multimedia business for web and print design and has returned for more schooling to become a licensed Mortgage Broker. In the Fall, she will study Early Childhood Education and become Montessori certified.
