Kayla Morales

Lead Primary Guide / Assistant Director

Hello! My name is Ms. Kayla Morales, and I have been part of St. Mary's Montessori School since 2019. I am the Lead Directress of our Buttercup Environment in our 3-6 Primary Program, and the Assistant Director of our Fontana campus. Working alongside my great colleagues, I have had phenomenal experiences fostering independence, growth, and confidence in the children during their first plane of development. I hold my global diploma through The Montessori Institute of San Diego, which allows me to work with children 2 1/2 - 6 internationally. I truly enjoy witnessing the social-emotional growth during this period of a child’s life. During my time away from my work, I enjoy reading, meditating, traveling, and being outdoors! I enjoy to collaborating with all our amazing families and look forward to meeting you!

Alexis Hsieh

Director

Hello, my name is Alexis Hsieh. I started my career at St. Mary’s Montessori School as the Gerber Daisy Lead in 2017. In 2020 I made the decision to support my two wonderful boys as a stay-at-home mom but returned to St. Mary's last year. This year, I have committed to attending the Montessori Institute of San Diego to further my education as a Montessorian. On my spare time I love to hike, dance, shop, try new restaurants, and of course spend time with my family.
