Our Teachers
We have an incredible group of teachers who inspire, educate, and lead our preschool students toward a bright future every day!
Meet The ODS Team!
Taylor Goode
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.
Maddy Russell
My name is Maddy Russell and I moved to the Florida Panhandle from Jacksonville last year! Before moving to the area, I taught for 3 years at a special needs preschool and overall, I have been shaping little minds for over 5 years. Creating a nurturing and loving environment where the students I work with can thrive is so important to me and I love how Ohana naturally creates that environment! I can’t wait to see our littles continue to blossom in the year ahead!
Hayden Paramore
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!
Milah Henke
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.
