Staff
Kayla Davis
Director
Hello, my name is Kayla Davis and I would like to introduce myself as the Director at Kids ‘R’ Kids Westpointe. I am extremely excited for the opportunity to help make our school the right choice for your family. As the Director my focus will be to bring growth to our center, build strong connections between staff and parents, and ensure our teachers are providing a warm, loving, and engaging atmosphere that will allow your children to thrive.
A little about myself, I was born and raised in Texas, and I am currently raising my four children here. I have worked with children from birth to eleven years old for over ten years in a childcare setting, church, and in my own home. In May 2016 I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education and have continued my education by completing my director’s credential. I spend most of my free time playing with my kids and enjoying the outdoors with friends. When I get the chance, snuggling up with a bag full of chocolate and watching binge worthy tv shows is at the top of my list.
I believe Early Childhood Education is not only the foundation to education but is the key to helping children develop a love for learning. My goal is to help your children have the best experience possible and develop a passion for their education. Please, feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns you may have.
