Taylor Goode
Director of Ohana Day School
My name is Taylor Goode and I am the Director of Ohana Day School. I graduated in 2011 from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and have been enjoying life as a Florida resident ever since. I have 17 years of extensive experience in Child Development and am delighted to have joined the Ohana family just over a year ago. My role as director is focused on creating a safe, enriching, and fun learning environment for every student, parent, and teacher so that our team can make a difference and lasting impact one student at a time.
Hayden Paramore
Lead Teacher at ODS 30Avenue
My name is Hayden Paramore and I have the privilege of being the lead preschool teacher at Ohana Day School! I graduated from Auburn University in 2022 with a degree in Early Child Development and I have recently moved to the area from Dothan, AL. Before my position at Ohana, I taught for two years in Alabama’s First Class Pre-K program. I have always hoped for a close, family-like community in the classroom, and that is exactly what I have found here! Ohana truly lives by its name- Ohana means family! I’m looking forward to the year to come!
Audrey Moore
Teacher at ODS 30Avenue
Hi! My name is Audrey Moore. My husband and I have four wonderful children—Meagan, Hayden, Addison, and Owen—who keep us busy and bring so much joy to our lives. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, exercising, reading, crafting, and living the coastal life! I’ve been a preschool teacher since 2017 and I truly believe that working with young children is one of the most rewarding experiences. I’m happy to be a part of the Ohana family and look forward to helping our students grow, learn, make lasting memories, and most importantly—have fun!
Milah Henke
Teacher at ODS 30Avenue
My name is Miss Milah and I moved to Panama City Beach three years ago from St. Louis, Missouri where I was born and raised. I have my Associate's degree in Teaching, however, I’ve been working in schools since 2017 and was a lead 3-year-old teacher last school year! It has been a dream of mine to work for Ohana since 2014 and I am so excited that it's finally come true! I can't wait to see how this upcoming year unfolds with our precious new and returning students.
Katy Copeland
Lead Teacher at ODS Grand Boulevard
Hello! My name is Katy Copeland. I’ve lived in Santa Rosa Beach since 2015. My husband, Scot, and I have two awesome boys: Jack is in 5th grade and Jonah is in Kindergarten. I have a Masters degree in K12 Reading & National Board Certification in Early Childhood Education. I taught kindergarten for 11 years and taught English online to K12 students in China. I’m thrilled to be back in the classroom with preschoolers! When I’m not at school, I love going on adventures near and far with my family, kayaking, and snuggling with our Frenchton, Lola.
