We are thrilled to announce our Cordova STEAM Preschool Aide is Ms. Shayla!
Ms. Shayla recently graduated from Kinney High School and worked at Camp Cordova over this past summer. This fall she is also working in the HYDE Out After-School Teen Program to gain more experience working with children of all ages. Her goal is to become a child and adolescent therapist. She is very excited to begin at Cordova STEAM Preschool this year and create great memories with your preschooler!
To get to know our Cordova STEAM Team a little better, we asked Ms. Shayla a few fun questions!

What can you cook to perfection?
Something I can cook to perfection is vegan fried chicken.

Having respect for the children as they do for you and treating everyone with kindness for a fun and easy going learning environment makes a good day at school.
