Ashley Rayne, Kitchen Administrator

Chef Ashley joined our team in 2019. With having years of childcare and food experience, she was the perfect fit for our Kiddie Academy family. Using Farm to Early Childhood Education, Chef Ashley creates one-of-a-kind menus for our academy. Helping parents introduce new foods to their children and expanding their pallets is Chef Ashley’s goal! Your child will see Chef when she visits their class weekly for her infamous “Cooking In The Classroom with Chef Ashley!” or maybe during one of her taste test events during pick up. When she is not in the kitchen, you can find her at home making diy crafts, reading books or going on adventures with her wife and children.
