Coral Bailey (She/Her)

Hello! My name is Coral and I am a Portland born and raised native. I have been working with kids of a variety of ages for over 10 years. In my 4 years in early childhood education, I have assisted with ages 6 weeks-5 years and found a love and passion for our littlest friends as a former Lead Infant Teacher. I love being able to bring my experience with so many kiddos into any room and to help our team to thrive. On my off time, you will usually find me with a coffee cup in hand or snuggling one of my 4 cats!

Jaelyn McCann

I have been an early childhood educator since 2017 with experience as a Lead Infant and Toddler Teacher and an administrator. Before joining Wander in Wonder, I spent two years in administration, serving as both an Assistant Director and Interim Director. Throughout my time in the field of Early Childhood Education, I quickly discovered a passion for teaching and caring for our tiniest humans. I find this career incredibly rewarding and value the important role early educators play in helping young children grow into kind, thoughtful, and capable individuals. Supporting children during these foundational years and building strong relationships with families is something I truly value.

In 2024, I moved to Portland from Flagstaff, Arizona, though I grew up in Wyoming. I deeply value my close relationship with my family and love traveling both to new places and back home to Wyoming whenever I can to spend time with my niece and my five younger siblings.In my free time, you can usually find me curled up with my rambunctious dogs, reading on my Kindle, or obsessing over anything Taylor Swift.
