My name is Melissa and I’m very excited to serve as the Director at KA Woodbury. I have 30 years of experience in early childhood education with the past 20 years as a center director. I truly believe that a strong school community is built through meaningful connections—with our students, their families, and the dedicated teachers who guide them every day. I’m passionate about creating an environment where teachers feel valued and supported, children feel loved and inspired to learn, and families feel confident in the care and education their children receive each day.At home, I’m a proud mom of two—my daughter Ayria, who is grown and out on her own, and my son Zayden, who is 9 years old and keeps me smiling every day. Being their mom reminds me how special childhood is and deepens my appreciation for the work we do in early education.
