Hello, I'm Mekala, or Ms. May as my colleagues and students affectionately call me. With over 25 years dedicated to serving preschools, I'm driven by the belief that every child is inherently unique and capable. My greatest joy is identifying each child's distinctive qualities and guiding them to unlock their full potential. I'm passionate about fostering a love for learning and committed to exploring innovative approaches that captivate and nurture the inquisitive minds of the children I work with.
