At Little Sunshine’s Playhouse and Preschool® we believe that a child’s work is play. We teach children age-appropriate lessons, manners, and social skills all through creative and purposeful play. We believe that if children enjoy learning at a young age it will carry with them throughout their lives.
Each month we have original projects, provide each classroom with new materials that reflect the monthly theme and provide related activities to support the individual concepts of the “whole child.”

Ms. Beth
Program director
Hello! My name is Beth and I’m so excited to be a part of the Little Sunshine’s Playhouse family as the Program Director of Little Sunshine’s Playhouse and Preschool of Cumming. I have had the pleasure of opening this amazing castle from the ground up and the joy of meeting and partnering with so many amazing families’ and educators in the process! Being an early educator is my passion. I call this birth to five years phase of childhood “the magic years” as there so many sweet and special developmental milestones that occur. I was drawn LSP’s play based learning approach and Reggio Emilia philosophy for that reason. This Is the time to play, create, daydream, sing and learn through play!
I received my degree in theater and performance studies from Kennesaw State University in 2003 and interned at a local regional theater, The Alliance Theater. During my time there I worked as a teaching artist, mentoring public school teachers on art integration methods in general education. It was through this experience that I discovered my passion to work with educators and families to develop the best possible learning experiences to create bright futures. I have a combined 22 years of professional experience in early childhood education both in school management and teaching.
I am originally from Michigan but consider myself a true southerner as I have lived in the Atlanta area for 27 years now. My husband Chris and I have been married for 19 years and live in Marietta. We have two amazing powerhouse daughters that keep us busy! Ellen Kate is 8 and Lorelei is 2 and LOVES her classroom and friends here at the castle. On the weekends I love family time and any outdoor activity!
I can’t wait to welcome you and your family to LSP. Welcome to our castle on the hill!

Hello! My name is Neha, and I am proud to be your Assistant Director at Little Sunshine’s Playhouse and Preschool of Cumming. I have been in the education field for more than eight years. I have been part of LSP Cumming since our castle’s first day.
I have always loved kids and wanted to be a teacher since a very young age. To follow my passion, I graduated with a bachelor’s in education and a master’s in Fabric & Apparel Science. I am also a graduate of Classical Indian Dance.
On a personal note, I was born and raised in New Delhi, India, and moved to Georgia with my family five years ago. I am happily married and have two kids (a daughter and a son).

What Our Cumming Families Are Saying
Vivian
I’ve had my daughter at little Sunshine’s since 2017. The moment I walked in for my tour I felt at home. I knew it was a place where I could truly feel my daughter be safe. The education she has gotten in her time there is beyond anything I could have asked for. She just turned 5 and is counting to 120 without help, picking out sight words in books we read and her confidence is unmatched because of little Sunshine’s. Every teacher there truly loves the children they are working with. When my daughter was an infant they got her on the best sleep and eating schedule. They worked with her on potty training when the time came and helped her gain confidence with it at a quicker pace. I honestly can keep going with all the great things!
Amy
I could not ask for a better daycare for my child!! I have loved everyone I have met thus far! My child’s teacher is the best and she has supported all of my parenting decisions, sends awesome daily updates, made me feel at ease with my daughter’s multiple allergies, and best of all I know she truly loves and cares for my daughter. I am glad we have many more years to come with you guys – LSP rocks!

I have noticed significant progress in my baby cousin’s learning. She was already an advanced learner, but thanks to her parents and her teachers, she is constantly making adequate leaps intellectually, physically, emotionally, and socially! I love the atmosphere that the daycare has because it is motivating and appropriate to students’ age groups. I would highly recommend this daycare to new parents who may be hesitant in the area of finding a safe and friendly atmosphere for their child or children.
