Little Sunshine's Playhouse and Preschool

About Us

Little Sunshine’s Playhouse began in as in in-home preschool in 1998. After much success, the superior preschool program and the Reggio Emilia approach our founding students began the Little Sunshine’s legacy. Through passion, determination, and vision, the first official Little Sunshine’s Playhouse & Preschool® was born in 2002.

Today Little Sunshine’s Playhouse passionately serves thousands of families and provides quality early educational care to children ages 6 weeks to 6 years.

Through the Reggio Emilia approach, our mission is to foster a love of learning through curiosity, collaboration, and play. We acknowledge and value each child’s individual abilities, differences and strengths to enhance positive self-esteem and understanding of community.

We believe a child’s work is play. Children learn best as well as develop socially and emotionally through engaging in a variety of age-appropriate activities in a safe, secure, and nurturing environment.

High health, safety, and educational standards are our promise to you. This begins with our comprehensive quality assurance program and highly trained early childhood educators.

Our preschools undergo weekly evaluations by our trained quality assurance professionals. Every school is evaluated on several areas of compliance, including supervision, emergency preparedness, age-appropriate activities, safety, meal services, and many more. Each standard is purposefully designed to exceed state-regulated requirements to put your mind at ease while your child is in our care.
