Our Austin, TX Leadership Team
Ms. Christina
Assistant Director
Hello! My name is Christina, affectionately known as Ms. Christina. I am a California native with a little more than three years of Texas living under my belt, and I couldn’t love it more. I have passionately worked in early childhood education for twenty years, holding a bachelor’s degree in Child & Adolescent Development and a master’s degree in Education.
My husband, Armando, and I have been together for ten years and married for six. Our love for travel and adventure drew us to one another, and I love navigating life as his co-pilot. We share two amazing little girls, Sophia (4) and Julia (2.5), who continually remind me of why I love tiny humans so much. Being both a mother and an educator gives me a unique understanding of the joys and challenges parents face, and I’m passionate about helping families and children thrive during these formative years.
As Assistant Director, I’m committed to partnering with families and teachers to create a supportive, welcoming Little Sunshine’s community. I believe early education is about collaboration between home and school, and I strive to foster environments where children can confidently explore and develop their unique abilities in their home away from home. My approach is rooted in ensuring that each child feels valued, empowered, and excited to learn.

What Our Austin Families Are Saying
Stephanie
I love Little Sunshine’s and so does my son (age 3). We both had a tough time with separation anxiety when he started preschool and the staff went above and beyond to help us settle in. Before we knew it they became like a second family and my son loves going to school! I look forward to receiving my LuvNotes from his teachers telling me all about the things he has learned and the fun activities he has done. They send the cutest pictures of him playing with his new friends! I still miss him while he’s gone but I feel confident he’s safe and I’m happy he’s happy!
McKenzie
My daughter has been attending Little Sunshine’s Playhouse and Preschool of Four Points since its opening and she has loved going to school every day there. The staff and teachers are wonderful, they have extra activities for the kids to participate in on a weekly basis and theme days throughout each month. She has loved all of her teachers! They get lots of outside time & have great center activities when inside. They have new topics each month for the kids to learn about. They also provide breakfast, lunch & 2 snacks throughout the day which is so wonderful!
Lisa
We have been at this school since it opened in June 2020. The hours are great, my son loves the food, the teachers and staff are wonderful. Communication is great and you get daily notes about your child, what they did that day, what they ate, and also pictures! You can also easily communicate with the teachers online as well. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.
