About Me

My name is Kayla Barao and this is my ninth year teaching in the East Providence School District.  I graduated from the University of Rhode Island in May 2009 with Bachelor's degrees in both Elementary Education and History.  I also completed coursework to become certified in Early Childhood Education. Since joining the East Providence School Department, I have formally taught in kindergarten, third grade, fourth grade, and fifth grade.  In addition to teaching, I am also the assistant indoor and outdoor track coach at Bay View.

I have been married to my husband Travis for almost 5 years now and we are both lifelong residents of East Providence (first Riverside and now Rumford.) We welcomed our daughter, Emily, in March of 2017.  Some of my favorite things include watching sports (I'm a big Red Sox, Patriots and Bruins fan!), reading, running, spending time with my nephews Colby, Mason and Owen, and entertaining with our friends.     

I am looking forward to working closely with you all to ensure that your children have the best learning experience possible this year. Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions, concerns, or comments about your child's education. Our door is always open!
