January 2022 National Teacher of the 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 January National Teacher of the Month is Ms. Tatianna of Little Sunshine’s Playhouse and Preschool of Springfield at Cardinal.

In talking about how Ms. Tatianna exemplifies LSP’s core values, Assistant Program Director, Ms. Anna said, “Tatianna is our Pre-K teacher. She has been with our company for almost two years. She has made an investment in her job here as a teacher, friend, mentor, and a leader in her classroom. Tatianna shows compassion, kindness, silliness, respect, and involvement when caring for her Pre-K students. She has been someone who you can get to know on a personal level. Someone you can go to if you need help or just some advice. Tatianna works so hard at her job, and she does it effortlessly. Tatianna does a wonderful job being a leader and a wonderful person! We are very lucky to have her on our team.”
