Learn More About Our Amazing Team

We are truly blessed at Little Lambs Christian Learning Center to have such a wonderful staff. Our entire staff is certified in CPR and First Aid, SIDS Prevention, and completes 15 hours of continuing education per year. We pride ourselves on having a high teacher retention rate. Consistent and dependable relationships are the foundation in which children build security and trust. This consistency and sense of security encourages learning and provides a comfortable environment.

My name is Shannon Brennecke and I have worked here at Little Lambs for 29 years. The first 8 years as the K4 teacher and the last 19 as the director. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse with a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Education and a minor in History. I have since taken several classes in Business and Early Childhood. Every year, I learn something new in the ever changing world of education.

I grew up in Merton and now call Oconomowoc home. I have two children, Daniel (21) and Ryan (17). Both boys are very involved in sports and school, so much of my free time is spent on a baseball or soccer field, or on a basketball court. We love to watch the Brewers and Packers, swim, go boating,  hiking, traveling and spending time with family and friends.

My goal as the Director of Little Lambs is to provide an environment where all children here are loved and are able to learn, grow and discover in a safe and fun environment.

I am Laura Davis, and I serve as the K4 teacher. I’ve had the privilege to teach here at Little Lambs for the past 28 years. Everyday is an adventure as I help my young students experience the love of learning.

I graduated from college with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education. Since, I’ve had the opportunity to earn numerous additional college credits in the areas of Early Childhood, Literacy and Teaching the Gifted.

I am a member of the Wisconsin State Reading Association and have recently been appointed to the Early Childhood Literacy Committee within this organization. It is the mission of this committee to promote and advance early literacy development to families, schools and communities throughout the state of Wisconsin.

I am the mother of two daughters, Elizabeth (21) and Elaina (19). As most parents, I spend much of my free time involved in their school projects and extra curricular activities. We love to travel, are avid readers, enjoy music, and look forward to spending time at our cabin up north.

My name is Lisa Radix. I have been teaching at Little Lambs for the past 20 years! I received my Early Childhood Education Certification through WCTC & MATC. I have worked with various age groups during those 20 years, but I have really enjoyed working with toddlers for the past 7 years. It’s been very rewarding to see them grow and learn through the early years of their life.  

During my free time, I enjoy spending time with my children, grandchildren and friends.

Hi, my name is Rose Castro, and I am the Bunny Room teacher here at Little Lambs . I have worked here now for over 20 years. I love working with this age group. I enjoy watching their developmental growth as I get to snuggle, read, and play with them. 

I received my teaching certificates from Black Hawk Technical College in 2001. Prior to working at Little Lambs, I worked at a school-age program for 4 years in New Glarus, Wisconsin.

Family time is very important to me. I spend my free time visiting with my family, knitting, crafting, and baking. I keep myself busy with Pinterest projects for both home and school.

My Name is Isabella Lee, and I have been the 3K Dolphin teacher here at Little Lambs for 11 years.  I have my Bachelor's of Science degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Early Childhood Education from Carrol University.    I am from the Oconomowoc area and currently live in Wales. My hobbies include reading, writing, and staying fit.

I believe in providing a safe and nurturing environment for kids to grow, play and learn in. I strive to build a strong classroom community, while making sure all the children’s individual needs are met. My goal is for all of my kiddos to feel comfortable and taken care of, so they are able to get the most out of their learning experiences here!

My name is Mary Humphrey, and I am honored and privileged to join the staff at Little Lambs Christin Learning Center as the lead teacher in the Infant Room. I have worked with infants for over 12 years, the last two of them, here at Little Lambs. To be able to work in a Christian environment is very important to me. I feel very blessed.

I have a Bachelor's of Science degree in Elementary Education from the University of Sevens Point and a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction from UW-Milwaukee.  I have taken several Early Childhood and Infant/Toddler courses throughout the past 10 years.  

Before working with infants,  I taught 2nd grade at a parochial school here in Oconomowoc.   My husband and I raised our four children on a farm in Ixonia. In my spare time, I like to visit and play with our six grandchildren, walk around the farm, can vegetables from the garden, quilt, do Sudoku puzzles, and watch sporting events on TV.

This is a very rewarding job for me.  I have the opportunity to help guide each child in this important stage of their little lives.  My goal is to create a safe and loving environment where all children feel welcome, are happy and can grow, discover and learn.
