The Founder & Director of The Launch Pad Academy

You may recognize Marie Ward from shopping at the local No Frills as she is a long time Mimico resident, mother of three and a balancer of career and motherhood. 

Your children might know her best because she's spent over a decade pushing her children on the swings in various parks in Etobicoke right next to them. Or... perhaps they know her as "Missy" in the hit Disney Movie Franchise Zombies 1, 2 & 3 or from various other family friendly programming such as Circuit Breakers.

Regardless, this mother has spent countless hours driving her children to dance, hockey, basketball, gymnastics, soccer, scouts, guides piano, voice, drama and everything else under the sun while trying to balance a career and home life and said   "There has to be a better way".  

Well now there Is...

Welcome to The Launch Pad Academy !

In addition to her film and television credits, Marie Ward has taught in both accredited and non- accredited learning institutions in the arts sector. She can't wait to share her passion for teaching where she empowers your children to embrace the magic of trying new things.
