“It takes a village to raise a child”

Our daughter was born in New Orleans where we had recently relocated and were missing a strong support system. The teachers at our daughter’s early learning center were our Village, who helped make our transition from a young couple to a family of 3 a memorable one. Even during the uncertain times in 2020, they were a big reason for our daughter’s continued learning and development. Having experienced firsthand the importance of early learning facilities for our family, we are keen on doing our bit in the community and creating opportunities for young families to benefit from quality early childhood education and experiences.

Born to an engineer and an accomplished English teacher, Sumedh is himself a Chemical Engineer with a Ph.D. from Rice University with a passion for teaching and mentoring. He works in the energy industry in Houston and is an avid runner and cyclist.

Pooja is a Computer Engineer with a Masters from the University of Florida (Go Gators!). She works in the E-commerce industry helping companies enhance their online business. Pooja enjoys painting and spends her time volunteering in the community with several non-profits primarily catered toward education and career development for young women!

We are passionate about providing quality early learning resources in our community. We both genuinely believe that it’s important to help develop “good humans” who can make the world a better place for us all.

We are privileged to be part of the community and really look forward to partnering and welcoming your family to our Ivy Kids family! Contact us to learn more about our innovative curriculum, nutrition program, experienced teachers, and our safe, nurturing, spacious facility. Our goal is to be part of the lives of the future corporate citizens of this world and to help make Ivy Kids your child’s home-away-from-home while you work.

We look forward to meeting you soon!

Meet the Director

Flavia Souza

Hello there! My name is Ms. Flavia and I am so happy to be part of the Ivy Kids family. I am originally from Brazil but moved to the US in 2001 where I attended Olympus High School in Salt Lake City, UT. I lived there for 18 years when I finally decided to move out of state and made my way to TX in 2019. I met my now husband back in 2020 in the middle of a pandemic. We had our little Addie in May/2022 and got married in September/2022. Besides her, I also have 2 other kids (Gaby is 18 and Victor is 15) and 4 stepkids (Teia is 21, Adrian is 20, Lalani is 17 and Joel is 13). We are a big blended family and I absolutely love it. We live in the Katy area with our 2 furry babies (Benny and Leo) and our pet turtle (Donatello). I love children and animals and my dream is to start an animal rescue for dogs.
I started in childcare back in 2011 as a Teacher’s Aid. I had no experience and was so grateful to have been given the opportunity to learn everything. I had an amazing director and owner that helped me grow in the field. A couple years later, I earned my Child Development Associate in Infant and Toddlers.
I worked as a Lead Teacher for a couple years before accepting a position as a director at another center. I was a director with them for almost 5 years while working on my Associates Degree in Family and Human Studies. I have been a director now since 2015 and I absolutely love working with children and want to ensure every child has the love and care they deserve. Making sure they have a safe and nurturing environment is very important to me. This is what drew me into coming to Ivy Kids of Peek. Helping to open a new school means to me that I can get to know each and every family on a more personal level. From the very beginning, we can ensure the quality of care and education is top notch. I am looking forward to welcoming your family to our school and getting to know your child.
