Meeting Ms. Shay

Hi! I have worked with children for the past 8 years developing their minds and social skills, this has led me to love getting to know their personalities and helping them understand more about the world. Some of my qualifications include: 

  • State of Idaho Board Certified teacher

  • Bachelor's degree in Education from Boise State University 

  • Experience working in classrooms with Boise School district / West Ada school district 

  • 300+ hours of volunteer work

  • Taught elementary students in the foreign country 

  • Experience working 1 on 1 with childhood growth and development 

  • Experience working in daycare setting with children ages 2-4

I love interacting with my students little minds and being active part of my community. Some of my favorite things to do are play sports, coach, and teach of course!

“Shay’s class was so great for our son! I was amazed at how quickly his speech improved and his confidence grew. It was easy to see how happy he was coming how each day and how excited he was to go back, he felt comfortable and safe with Shay. The schedule and small class size was exactly what I was looking for, and her in-home Preschool Classroom was so clean and fun. Shay has such a passion and enthusiasm for teaching, which made it easy for me to feel comfortable sharing our son with her. Highly recommend!”

“I was super nervous with my daughter going to school and being watched by someone other than myself, however she is thriving. Shay is an amazing teacher. My daughter can’t stop talking about her and telling me how she wants to go to school everyday. This preschool is informative, they give you a calendar of the current month with each activity/ skill that they will be learning. I highly recommend Shay Little Learners Academy.”
