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!

Hello, my name is Felicia.  I am proud to be a part of the Shepherd's Little Hearts Academy!  I am from Dallas but moved to the Houston area in 2023.  I'm happily married to my best friend and have a beautiful daughter and a super energetic fur baby.  I love to sing, play guitar and spending time with my family and friends.  I also enjoy trying new things and exploring new places.  This will be my seventh year in childcare, and I have absolutely loved every second.  I have a true passion for working with the little learners and really helping them progress in their early development-academic, social language and motor.  I strive to help create a classroom that will nurture growth in a positive, fun and loving environment.

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.
