Meet the Teacher!
Ms. Adalyn
Adalyn is a passionate teacher and the dedicated mother of three children. Born and raised in Central Florida, she has always had a deep appreciation for the outdoors and all the creatures who inhabit it. Having spent many years playing in the dirt and exploring the woods with bare feet behind her grandparents’ home, she understands the importance of being outside in the sunshine. Growing up, she loved an nurtured many different animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, cows and eventually a horse. She took every opportunity she could to saddle up and ride through green pastures.
Adalyn’s love for learning and teaching began with her degree in English from Brigham Young University, and she is excited to bring her background in literature and storytelling to the farm. In her free time, she enjoys singing with her family, playing guitar and writing music.
