Our Proprietary Reggio Emilia-Inspired Curriculum
Creatively Shine®
Our Reggio Emilia-inspired curriculum, Creatively Shine®, is based on the latest research and trends to prepare your children for their educational careers equipping them with cognitive, social, emotional, physical and language skills.
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.”
Our Arvada Leadership Team
Ms. Abby
Program Director
Hello! My name is Abby, and I am happy to be joining Little Sunshine’s Playhouse and Preschool of Arvada as your Program Director. I have experience with all ages in early education and continue to educate myself to have a lasting impact on the children and families in my care.
I hold an associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education and my Large Center Directors License in the state of Colorado. I began my career as a teacher and have grown into the director position over the last 10 years. I have passion for being a part of nurturing our youth and aiding in their growth and development.
On a personal note, my husband Nick and I have a 3-month-old daughter named Charlotte and two cats, Bear and Ziggy. We were Colorado natives and met in High School. I enjoy cooking, gardening, reading, and spending time with our family.
Ms. Sara
Assistant Director
Hello! My name is Sara, and I am proud to be the Assistant Director of Little Sunshine’s Playhouse and Preschool of Arvada.
I have been working with young children since I graduated high school in 2016. I used to be a water safety and swim instructor for children and decided to get into early childhood education soon after. I worked in another large center here in Arvada for five years. In my time there, I worked with preschool students, but quickly realized my passion for toddler ages. I was a toddler teacher for two years before ending up pursuing my Director’s Certification and moving to management within that company. Work is my passion and the littles have been my motivation from the beginning.
On a personal note, I am a Colorado native and in my free time enjoy spending time with family and my two dogs, Nelli and Howard. I am an avid reader and will always enjoy a good book recommendation. My favorite children’s books are Chicka Chicka Boom Boom and Go Dog, Go!

What Our Families Are Saying
Franklin G.
This place has turned out to be a godsend for us and several other families who were subject to Primrose and Goddard schools.
The teachers at Little Sunshine’s are professionals who engage with, teach and play with the children as opposed to just babysitting.
The facility, toys, chef and other amenities are also top shelf. Management is happy, helpful and professional.
I can’t say enough good things, thank you for coming to Arvada!!
