Miss Shannon. Director
Hi there! My name is Shannon and I am honored to be serving A Child's Haven Preschool as director. I have spent the past 13 years in Marketing and Advertising. I majored in Horticulture and spent a lot of time with children Kinder-5th, educating and certifying them through the JMG Program, Texas A&M Agri-Life Extension, in summer programs. I have 3 amazingly smart and talented children with Dyslexia and spent 2 years homeschooling, preparing for middle school and filling the gaps in their education. For the past 10 years I have been a strong advocate for the rights of children and their families with ADHD and Dyslexia.
On a personal note, I am a mother of 4, Aidan 18, Hunter 15, Zachary 13, and Madison 11, and a dog mom of two. I love gardening and the outdoors, my favorite food is spaghetti, and spending time with my kids is my absolute favorite thing to do.
I am so thrilled to welcome you and your family to ACH and together we will celebrate each child’s journey!

I’m an industrial engineer with a passion for teaching. I started teaching while going to college and I knew right away that was my calling. I think kids should have fun while they learn; I enjoy telling silly jokes, making funny voices, dancing around, and doing whatever it takes to engage students, motivate them to participate, and help them feel safe and confident.
