Ms. Jennifer
Hello! My name is Jennifer Branham. I have been teaching at Little Blessings since 2010. I also have 5 years experience teaching kindergarten both in Grand Junction as well as Douglas County. I have lived in Colorado all of my life, growing up in Westminster and then going to Mesa State College in Grand Junction. We have lived in Parker since 2002. My husband Jesse and I have 2 sons. Aiden, 22, just graduated from the University of Northern Colorado and is pursuing a career in Archaeology. Blake, 19, will be a Sophomore at Fort Lewis College and will be studying Sports Administration as well as playing football for the college. I love teaching 4 and 5 year olds and preparing them for kindergarten. Watching these kiddos grow and learn is exciting and so much fun! They change so much from August to May and I feel blessed and proud to be a part of all of those learning moments.
Hi there! I’m Shauna Ayala, and I’m so thrilled to be joining the Little Blessings family this year! I’ll be teaching in the Owls classroom (MWF), and I can’t wait to get to know all of you and your amazing kiddos.
A little about me—I’ve spent the past few years teaching swim lessons, including group, private, and adaptive classes. Working with children in the water has been such a joy, and I’m excited to bring that same energy and love for teaching into the classroom.
I grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and studied education at the University of New Mexico. In 2018, my husband Justin and I moved to Parker, Colorado with our two wonderful kids, and we’ve loved calling it home ever since.
When I’m not teaching, you’ll usually find me reading a good book, cheering my kids on in their activities, spending time with my husband, or cuddling with my beautiful Great Dane, Princess Atta.
I’m looking forward to a fantastic year of learning, laughter, and growing together!
