My name is Tayna Griffiths and I am so excited to be a part of the pre-k team at Desoto Trail. I look forward to getting to know my students through exploration, adventure, and learning.

I have worked at DeSoto Trail since 2016. Before becoming a Trailblazer, I worked as a preschool teacher for four years and earned a bachelor's degree in Psychology from Florida State University. Teaching has always been a passion of mine and I believe that with proper inquisition, observation, and hands-on experimentation, learning can be fun! I am so pleased to have the opportunity to guide and mold our children to become lifelong learners and upstanding members of the community.

My husband and I have 3 children, 3 dogs, a bearded dragon, 2 turtles, a rat, and a betta fish! I LOVE ANIMALS! We enjoy playing football, canoeing, and doing puzzles. I love the outdoors, science, and anything plant or animal related.
