Kayla Barry

Kayla Barry is currently pursuing her degree in Business Administration at Southern New Hampshire University, where she holds a 3.93 GPA and is set to graduate in 2026. With a strong background in operations, customer service, and leadership, she’s enjoying the opportunity to complement her experience with formal studies. A lifelong learner at heart, Kayla loves picking up new skills and researching topics that interest her, especially those related to health and wellness. If she could be a student forever, she would be.

Her journey to Live Oak Waldorf School began after years spent working in a demanding, high-stress career. When her son transitioned out of part-time kindergarten and into the early grades, Kayla made the life-altering decision to leave her job and homeschool him full-time. That choice, supported by family and friends, allowed her to restore balance, reconnect, and cherish time that felt deeply meaningful for both of them. Through homeschooling, she discovered a love for Waldorf education and formed lasting friendships within the community. When the opportunity arose to join Live Oak, both she and her son were excited to become part of a larger Waldorf environment and grow their connection to the rhythm and richness of this path.

Kayla is a proud Maple Class parent and feels honored to be part of the Live Oak community in both a personal and professional capacity. Outside of her work, she enjoys creative and physical pursuits. She has a background in dance, has taught yoga, explored Pilates, and recently picked up golf. While homeschooling, she also pursued cake decorating, which grew into a small side business specializing in high-quality, custom buttercream floral designs. One of her favorite things is following her son’s lead in learning, exploring his interests, and discovering more about child development along the way. She feels incredibly grateful to be part of a community that values beauty, balance, and the unfolding journey of growth for both children and adults.
