Darion Garcia
My name is Darion Garza and I am the principal at TreeHouse Children’s Academy on 82nd. I have been working in early education for many years now. I have worked for TreeHouse Children’s Academy for 4 years and have won Best of Lubbock multiple years in a row! My passion is doing what I am doing now. Being able to touch so many lives daily and making everyone feel safe, noticed and loved is what I feel God has called me to do. No matter what may be going on in the world or my life; stepping into a classroom with my students gives me appreciation and centers me by seeing their smiles and being able to embrace their love. Knowing that families entrust me and my team with their babies shows that they have peace and comfort within my walls and that they know I will do all that I can to always protect their little ones. I am an only child and have one son of my own. My son is my absolute world along with my husband and they make my family complete. On our free time we enjoy taking family vacations, family date nights, movies and watching MMA together. With being such a small and close nit family that I come from I know what I want for my own child and that is what I try to provide every student (baby, toddler, preschool or preteen) and family that enrolls at my school. I pray that any time spent with me and my school is always beneficial and what any individual may need whether that be teammates, students, families or anyone that may step foot in my school.
Jessike Cabello
Hey there! My name is Jessike Cabello, and I am the principal of Treehouse Children’s Academy located on Coulter in Amarillo, Texas. I have dedicated the past four years to working in the childcare industry, where I have focused on enhancing my skills and knowledge in early childhood education. In 2023, I graduated with honors from West Texas A&M University, earning my Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education for Early Childhood through 6th grade. I am also committed to continuing my education and pursuing a Master’s degree. Although I am only a dog mom, all my students are my babies! At Treehouse, I enjoy working with children of all ages, and I take pride in developing strong future leaders among my teachers. I find great fulfillment in serving our community and supporting parents and families by providing exceptional care and education for their children. I believe that imparting knowledge helps shape future generations, which is essential for a thriving life. Proverbs 20:15 emphasizes the importance of wisdom in securing a brighter future. I am passionate about planting the seeds for tomorrow’s leaders, students, and teachers. It brings me immense joy to celebrate our successes together with my team and the children we serve. Thank you for being part of this wonderful journey!
