Chloe Nakata (she/her)
Early Childhood Educator Assistant
Chloe is an Early Childhood Education Assistant currently pursuing her ECE certification at Langara College. For the last several years Chloe has been an integral part of the Parent & Tot program at TNNS as well as teaching various programs at Thompson Community Centre, including dance classes for children. She strives to bring creativity, warmth, and joy into her teaching practice. Chloe has also completed outdoor camp counsellor training, which deepened her passion for nature-based learning.
Chloe is interested in art therapy for children; combining her love of artistic expression with her commitment to supporting others’ emotional and spiritual well-being.
She embraces a natural, eco-friendly lifestyle and enjoys integrating these values into her work with children. When she’s not teaching, Chloe loves spending time outdoors—running and swimming with her dog Alphonse, camping in the mountains, and foraging wild plants to make herbal teas and natural home remedies. A dedicated vegetarian and enthusiastic home cook, she finds joy in preparing nourishing meals and living in harmony with the environment.
“I was the only girl playing drum kit at my school growing up, and that experience shaped my confidence and love for music. I’m especially passionate about 80’s rock, drawn to its energy, power, and bold rhythms. In addition to drum set, I also play traditional Japanese taiko, which is not just music but a dynamic performance art that blends strength, precision, and expression. One of my biggest dreams is to someday own a traditional taiko drum and continue deepening my connection to this powerful art form.”
