My name is Kayla Maynard and I'm the Preschool teacher at St. A's. I grew up in Jesup, graduated from Jesup High School and went on to UNI where I received my BA in Early Childhood Education.

I live south of Jesup with my husband, Dan, and our four children (Theo, Emme, Otto and Lela ) and two dogs. I love to spend time with my family; whether we are traveling, watching movies or spending time outside.

As a preschool teacher, I love that I'm the introduction to school for many of these kids and have the opportunity to start them on their path as a student. I hope to instill a love of learning and one of the best ways for preschoolers to learn is to play, and we have the best time doing just that!
