Our Administrative Staff

   
Kayanna Scott-Brown
Kayanna Scott-Brown, our new GraceWorks Director, was born and raised in Boston, MA.  As a child her mother kept her involved in dance.  After dancing in a company for many years Kayanna decided to begin teaching creative movement, jazz, tap, African dance and hip-hop to children ages 3-12.  It was then that she decided to pursue a career working with children and families.  A graduate from Wheelock College in 2006 with a  B.A. degree in Theater Arts and a certificate in Human Services, Kayanna is certified by the Department of Early Education and Care as an infant/toddler and preschool teacher, and as a Director II.
Kayanna has taught and directed programs in a local childcare center and public school.  When not working she enjoys spending time with her two children and family, taking dance classes, going for walks and shopping.
