Miss Dayla
Miss Dayla was born & raised here in Washington, but loves to travel! She has been to over 10 countries! She especially loves to visit Hawaii, where she lived for 7 years. Miss Dayla is a proud mother of 2 sons, who have both attended Little Lambs Preschool! Her work experience has been focused on children, in both educational & recreational settings. She has worked in schools & community centers, but her most favorite job was teaching for a non-profit 'traveling preschool' in Hawaii. Along with being a teacher, Dayla is also an artist & hairstylist. Her philosophy is about, "Respect, Compassion, & Validation...When it's given and received...There is no greater teaching environment." She hopes to include those important elements in her classroom & have a whole lot of fun this year.
