Shyla began her search for “an environment in which enthusiasm and creativity are valued and children are encouraged to think critically while developing a love of learning.” This search led Shyla and her daughter, Aspen, to Grymes which enables her to continue her career in teaching and provide her daughter with an exciting educational environment.
