One of Darla’s proudest moments of her career was helping implement Nature Explore, an outdoor-based classroom for her previous preschool program.

At The Malvern School, she loves that the curriculum is intentional, and the special attention made to select diverse authors, illustrators and artists for the children to explore, as well as the fun, playful approach to learning math, science, literacy and civility concepts.

During her free time, Darla enjoys listening to music, cooking and baking, and reading. She also loves playing with her best friend, Yorkie, “Alfie”. Fun fact about Darla! She lived in Sleepy Hollow, NY for 14 years and has met the ‘headless horseman!’ Her favorite children’s book is “The Magic Friend Maker” by Gladys Baker Bond.
