My name is Maria, and I am originally from Ecuador. I have two daughters, aged 2 and 6. I have lived in several countries, including Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, and the USA. I am fluent in Spanish, Portuguese, and English. My favorite color is white, and in my free time, I enjoy dancing and spending time with my family.

My name is Ms. Leanne and I grew up in Missouri City.  I have two brothers and a sister, we all live very close to each other.  I have three children of my own who are 20, 14 and 10 years old.  I grew up playing softball and now enjoy watching my kids play soccer.  My house is always crazy with my kids, 2 dogs, 2 cats, fish and a hamster but I really enjoy the CRAZINESS!

Howdy,

First, a big thank you for being here!

My name is Makenzie Landram, and I will be teaching the twos class as of the 2024-2025 school year.

I graduated college in the fall of 2023 with an associates of science, and a business management occupational award.

I have worked with many individual families while I myself was in school. Working with these families throughout the years, I was able to gain a vast knowledge of child development.

I may not have the blessing of a child yet, but to see yours grow and thrive, brings myself more joy than ever.

With love,

Ms. Makenzie Landram

My name is Susie Morales, and I am incredibly excited for this new school year.  I am looking forward to getting to know you.  I know we will have a fun, educational and overall fantastic year here at Shepherd's Little Hearts Academy.

I recently moved here from Corpus Christi, where I taught at Seashore Early Childhood Academy for 16 years and Montessori school for 2 years.  This will be my 19th year teaching.  I am committed to creating a fun, safe and inclusive learning environment for all students.  I believe that each child is an individual and as an educator, I will value and develop each child's strengths, interests, skills, abilities and knowledge to advance their learning.

My husband, Cesar and I have been married for over 27 years.  We have a 23-year-old son, Marcus.  We also have three silly dogs, Snowball, Gizmo and Lucky.  In my free time I like to spend time with family and friends, watch football, movies and go on walks.

Hello! My name is Sandra Moreno and I have taught for 5 years in the Special Education

Department for elementary kids. I’m currently a student at Houston Community College and will

transfer to the University of Houston in the spring time to pursue my Bachelor’s Degree in

Elementary Education. I’m very excited to start at Shepherd's Little Hearts and create many memories while learning and growing. This will be my 6th year in childcare. I’m born and raised in Houston, TX and can’t imagine living anywhere else. When I'm not in the classroom, you can find me at the gym, eating out or traveling with my family. All I can say is, I can’t wait to meet you!
