My name is Hailey Wakefield and I am so excited to be your child's teacher this year! We are going to do so many fun things, and of course, learn a lot too. I hope you had a fabulous summer with your friends and family.
Here is a little about me!
My husband, Adam, and I live in Yorba Linda with our daughter, Ellie and cat, Dilly. I have been fortunate enough to be on leave with Ellie since she was born in April 2025, so the 2026-2027 school year is my first as a teacher/mom! I enjoy traveling, yoga, cooking new recipes, camping, and hiking/snorkeling with my sister in my free time... which has shrunk as a new mom :)
In 2015 I graduated from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio with a Bachelors in Early Childhood Education (minor in Special Education). In 2019 I received my Masters in Digital Learning and Leading from Lamar University.
This is my 11th year as a teacher, I have taught TK for 9 years, going on 10. Early childhood education is where I belong! In my teaching, I love incorporating nature and learning through play. I have also taught 3rd grade, online Kindergarten, and small group intervention for grades 1st and 2nd.
Parents: Contact me with any questions. This year it is important to keep communication a priority between us. I look forward to a wonderful year!
Love, Mrs. Wakefield
Hello, Laurel families. My name is Laura Carreon De Castro. I am Ms. Wakefield's co-teacher. I am so excited for the beginning of this new school year.
A little bit about me:
I earned a BA in Spanish from CSUF along with Child Development courses from Fullerton College. My favorite pastimes include my gardening and going to the beach. I am Brea's local resident, and I have been working for the BOUSD for eight years in the Child Development Service Department. I look forward to engaging with your children in multiple themes and projects.
