Sophia Zamor Santa

Founder

Sophia is an Industrial Engineer with 20 years of experience in 6 countries. She managed the innovation and marketing for the Huggies, Pullups and Goodnites Brands for Latin America for several years and learned so much about babies and toddlers! She spent 11 years managing our family business in Haiti.

She found her true passion for education when her two sons started their schooling, and was elected Vice-president of the school board of the French School in Haiti. She spent five years working with families and the French Staff to provide the highest quality education for over 600 students.

Founding KLA in 2013 has allowed us to have a lasting impact on so many young lives.

On her free time, she loves to read and cheer at her son’s soccer games!

Daniele Zamor

General Manager

Daniele is one of the founders of our school, and her heart has been woven into it from the very beginning. She built a place where children feel free to explore, discover who they are, play alongside their peers, and grow into confident little people. Daniele has a natural gift for spreading positivity, and you can see it the moment she lights up talking with our children.

Daniele is our General manager, but if you ask her, her favorite spot in the building is the front desk, where she gets to greet families and share a warm conversation with them. She also has a special talent for bringing our school events to life, and it shows in how much joy she puts into planning them.

Outside of school, Daniele is an amazing cook who loves having family over, and there's nothing she treasures more than spending time with her grandkids.

Rachel McHale

Director

Rachel McHale is our Director at KLA North Bay Village. She's often the first face you see when you walk through our doors, and the one keeping everything running behind the scenes, from supporting our families to holding the day to day logistics together. With 18 years of experience working with children, Rachel brings a rare mix of warmth and resourcefulness to her role. She's energized by challenges and driven by a genuine desire to help others, staying flexible so that both the people and the operations of our school are well taken care of.

Arielle Jean-Louis

Pedagogical Director

Arielle Jean-Louis serves as our Pedagogical Director. She has been with our school since 2020, working as a lead teacher and Atelierista before stepping into her current role. She guides our teachers with joy and purpose, bringing the same warmth to her leadership that she brings to her time with the children. What she loves most about KLA is the respect and space given to children to be seen and heard on their own terms. She believes there's no limit to what we can learn by simply paying attention to them.

Outside of the Piazza, you'll find Arielle at a Pilates class or soaking up the sun at the beach.
