Megan Szafrajda
Center Director/Director of Education
Megan graduated from the University of Nebraska at Kearney with a degree in Elementary Education. She loves her job and all the new "challenges" it brings each day. Most of all, she loves seeing the kids smile and light up when they get an answer correct. Megan loves to see the children's self-confidence go up and seeing those "success" moments that happen because of the progress that a student makes in their program. These are the true reasons why she became a teacher and enjoys every minute of what she does!
"My heart is singing for joy this morning. A miracle has happened! The light of understanding has shone upon my little pupil's mind, and behold, all things are changed."

She loves to help students improve their reading skills, especially the beginning reading students. "I feel a great sense of satisfaction when these students suddenly realize they can read. When teachers report back to us that the students have increased their reading level at school and are volunteering to read aloud, it is a great feeling!"
