June 2022 National Teacher of Month

The Teacher of the Month award is designed to recognize an employee that exemplifies our core values, which are compassion, humility, integrity, loyalty and discipline. This month we are pleased to announce that our 2022 June National Teacher of the Month is Ms. Jordan of Little Sunshine’s Playhouse and Preschool of Scottsdale.

In talking about how Ms. Jordan exemplifies LSP’s core values, Program Director, Ms. Latryce said, “Jordan is just a fantastic infant teacher, in the short amount of time she has been with our LSP family she has earned the love, trust, and respect from parents, teachers, and students! Ms. Jordan is always going above and beyond for all her students, making sure all their needs are met while still having an engaging classroom. When Jordan walks into the building everyone just lights up with joy!”
