Chad froude
Caregiver • BA in Theatre • Musician & Painter • Jack of all trades and crafty nerd
Originally from the East Coast, Chad moved to Toronto in 2010 to pursue his education in the arts. With a BA in Theatre and years of experience in youth-centered theatre and music, he brings a creative, hands-on approach to caregiving—one that celebrates curiosity, exploration, and expression.

You’ll often find Chad in our Sunday Messy Studios, covered in paint or playdough, or laughing and "nerding out" with the kids about their latest ideas and interests during our creative camps and labs.
