Shavonna Harris was inspired to become an educator by her third- and fifth-grade teachers, whose passion and encouragement sparked her own love for teaching. She spent 10 years as a Pre-K teacher before seeking new ways to make an impact while staying rooted in early childhood education. Shavonna earned her Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education in 2023, giving her a strong foundation to support children, families, and staff in her leadership role.
At Little Newtons, Shavonna is committed to creating a loving, nurturing environment where children can flourish and thrive. She builds meaningful partnerships with families by fostering a welcoming atmosphere, maintaining open and consistent communication, and encouraging two-way collaboration. Shavonna is proud of the diversity within her school community and finds joy in watching children explore, learn, and reach new milestones—moments she helps shape through supportive systems, thoughtful environments, and intentional guidance.
Shavonna’s favorite part of the day is Circle Time, where she gets to see children engaged, curious, and full of wonder. Outside of work, she enjoys relaxing, shopping, traveling, and spending time with her family. She and her husband share a blended family of six children, and she brings that same love and connection into her work every day. Shavonna’s passion for education drives her leadership, and her goal is for every family to feel welcomed, valued, and confident from the moment they walk through the doors of Little Newtons.
