Maya Martin
Lead Two Year Old Teacher

Hi! My name is Maya Martin and I am a lead teacher in the preschool program here at Carlsbad Country Day School. This is my second rotation in the continuity of care program here at Carlsbad Country Day School and I could not be happier with the program. Before coming to work for CCD, I completed my Master's Degree in education and received my BA in psychology from Hawaii Pacific University. I came to find my love of teaching after graduation from college when I started pursuing early childhood education as my carrer. I have worked with students from ages 2-21, but I really enjoy the passion of younger students. I strongly believe in teaching to the whole child and encouraging not only academic, but social and emotional learning for all children.

I was born and raised in Redondo Beach, California, but lived in Hawaii for almost 10 years. I currently reside in Oceanside with my husband, Brian, and our two children Brianna and Jeremiah. I look forward to meeting your family.
