About Me


My name is Kaia and I currently teach full-day kindergarten in Seattle, WA. This will be my seventh year teaching! I taught a 1/2 split my first year, 1st grade my 2nd year, and kindergarten for the last 4 years and this current year! I am SO excited to be teaching kindergarten--it's been my dream since I was little! Don't get me wrong--1st and 2nd graders are great and cute and all, but I think everyone can agree that kindergarten is "special" :)



Last year I finished my last component of National Boards! I did Early Childhood Generalist, and I'm among the first cohort to complete the new process. I'd love to chat more about it if you have any questions about the process! :)

Besides teaching, I love to work on websites and web design. I'm not the greatest (I admit I'm a bit rusty) but I truly enjoy sitting at my desk staring at code all day! Ha! I taught myself HTML and some java when I was about 13 in order to create.... DRAGON BALL Z websites! I made lots of fansites for my favorite anime shows and even kept up a website to keep my friends in the loop (PRE FACEBOOK). I stopped the website business about 15 years ago but I'm picking it up again for the sake of blogging! Be prepared to see lots of changes around here!

In my free time, I love to play video games! I love Star Wars and I'm currently playing an online game called World of Warcraft. Feel free to contact me if you want to be Battle.net friends :)

I also might be known for dressing my kids up like Darth Vader ...
