Hi, my name is Miss Kayla! I am the Pre-K teacher! I've been here at The Curious Caterpillars since June 2022, but have been working in the childcare field for six years. For three years I studied at the University of Maine Farmington, majoring in Early Childhood Education with a minor in Early Childhood Special Education. Unfortunately, I took a break when covid hit, but I plan on finishing my degree in the future. Until then, I enjoy my time in the classroom. I love to help children learn through hands-on activities as they explore new and exciting things!
Some of my favorite things outside of the classroom include spending time on the beach, going on hikes, visiting new places, and working at a greenhouse!
