Maria Morera
Assistant Director
For over eight years, Ms. Maria has been a devoted member of the Lighthouse Learning Academy family. With a strong foundation in Medical Administration, she quickly discovered her passion for early childhood education and has since embraced many roles within our school. Whether in the classroom, the kitchen, and transportation.
Ms. Maria’s greatest gift has always been the love and care she brings to our children and families.
As a proud mother of two daughters and grandmother to one grandson, Ms. Maria brings a special warmth and patience to our school.
She understands how important it is for children to feel safe, loved, and supported, and she makes it her mission to create that environment each and every day.
Now serving as our Assistant Director, Ms. Maria continues to be a guiding light for both children and families. Her passion and commitment have helped shape Lighthouse into the welcoming, family-centered community it is today.
