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 Lakeway, TX Leadership
Ms. Janie
Program Director
Welcome to Little Sunshine’s Playhouse and Preschool of Lakeway! My name is Janie, and I’m thrilled to be your Program Director of our Lakeway school. I love our Reggio Emilia-Inspired program. It’s truly amazing and I know you’ll feel that way, too!
I have a bachelor’s in psychology from the University of Texas at Austin and a Master’s in Education from the University of Houston. Throughout my career in education, I have taught preschool through high school-aged students. I have taught in locations across the United States and in Switzerland. I have also worked as a private educational coach and tutor.
My true passion is the Reggio Emilia educational philosophy and pedagogy with a focus on early education. Exploration, discovery, and play are crucial factors in children’s early learning experiences!
Ms. Autumn
Assistant Director
Hello! My name is Autumn, and I am the Assistant Program Director at Little Sunshine’s Playhouse and Preschool of Lakeway. Raised in Austin, Texas, I recently relocated to Lakeway after spending the past three years at The University of Alabama. From an early age, I have aspired to be an educator, and my journey has led me to a fulfilling career in early childhood education.
While pursuing a degree in early childhood special education, I have developed a profound appreciation for human development. I truly believe that the foundational years are critical for fostering skills that contribute to lifelong success. At Little Sunshine’s, I am inspired daily by our commitment to the Reggio Emilia-based curriculum, which enriches the learning experience for our students.
My dedication to creating a nurturing and secure environment for our children and their families drives my work. I am eager to extend a warm welcome to you and your family as part of our Little Sunshine community.

Our daughter is enrolled at LSP Lakeway in the Wonderland class. She loves going to school and is always happy. I have noticed a big change in her since attending LSP, in addition to all the milestones she is surpassing. My daughter is talking more verbally and using the ASL she is being taught. She LOVES her teachers! I can tell they take really good care of her and treat her as if she were their own. Thank you, LSP for taking such good care of our daughter and going above and beyond.

I am a mother of 3 and I can’t speak more highly of a school than Little Sunshine’s Playhouse & Preschool. I kept my two preschool-age children home during 2020 due to COVID and then we decided to enroll them both into LSP in Lakeway. I did a ton of research on preschools in my area but ultimately decided to make a 30-minute commute to attend THIS school.
At Little Sunshine’s, they have a personal chef so breakfast, lunch and snacks are handled. YES! Makes such a difference! The school also sends out daily reports to parents with a brief breakdown of the day, how much my kid ate for lunch, what time they fell asleep for a nap, and a cute photo of my child taken sometime during the day.
Overall, I love this school so much and would highly recommend it to other families!

Finding a safe and welcoming school for your child has proven to be a challenge for me and my husband until we found LSP. My husband and I could not be happier with the staff and the curriculum that my son is exposed to and has been to for almost a year now. He absolutely LOVES going to “school” every day and talks about his teachers and friends constantly. The amount he learns is mind-blowing. The weekly menus are wonderful, healthy and food my son loves to eat! It helps me plan his dinners during the week which is incredibly helpful as a full-time working mom. If you haven’t already figured it out, we love LSP and highly recommend it to our neighbors and friends.
