Mike and Shama began their journey with Creative World School in 2015 when they opened their Oakstead location. Shama graduated from the University of Miami with a BS in Public Relations and Creative Writing. Mike graduated from Trinity University in San Antonio, TX with a BS in Business Administration and Accounting. Shama worked at various Public Relations and Marketing agencies before opening Creative World School – Oakstead. Mike worked in accounting for five years and still holds his CPA license. Mike had a successful 10-year sales career before working full time at their school.

Mike and Shama were inspired by Creative World’s unique philosophy, which encourages and challenges children to learn. With three young girls of their own, Karina, Alexa and Sienna, Mike and Shama recognize the importance of providing the highest level of quality care and education in the safest, most secure environment available. "Our goal is to create a safe environment where children can reach their full potential through creative exploration and quality, dynamic programs in the classroom,” said Shama. It is this commitment that led to their Oakstead location receiving Creative World School’s first-ever “Out of This World Award” in 2019.

Mike and Shama find it a privilege to serve the Oakstead community and are excited to provide the same quality of childcare to Starkey Ranch and the surrounding communities!
