Tara Kaine
Tara Kaine, mother to Edwin and Rylee, has a background as an occupational therapist. She has always been passionate about the outdoors and deeply values the therapeutic benefits of nature. For nine years, Tara worked in early intervention with children aged 0-3, supporting their development through play and movement.
After welcoming her second child last year, she made the decision to stay home full-time, embracing unstructured days filled with play and outdoor adventures. She joined Ocean State Kids to connect with like-minded parents and provide her children with opportunities to build lasting friendships while exploring nature.
The connections she has made so far have been incredible, and she has cherished the many wonderful days spent outside with her family and community. Tara was excited to step into a leadership role, bringing her expertise as an occupational therapist to help this amazing program continue to grow and flourish for both parents and children.
Marial’s personal experience as a mother to her son Otto, who is a Gestalt Language Processor, has profoundly shaped her perspective on education and inclusivity. Balancing the needs of her family with her work, she made the heartfelt decision to step back from direct leadership roles to focus on her son’s growth and confidence. Her journey as a parent has sparked a passion for advocacy, particularly for children with unique learning styles. Whether it’s simply watching airplanes with Otto or crafting programs to empower parents as educators, Marial is dedicated to creating spaces where curiosity, connection, and community can flourish.
