Our Mt. Juliet, TN Leadership Team
Ms. Amy
Program Director
Hello! My name is Amy, and I am so excited to be the Program Director at Little Sunshine’s Playhouse and Preschool of Mt. Juliet. I have worked in the Early Childhood field for over 18 years, with 10 of those years as a Center Director. One of the many joys of my job is building lasting relationships with the children, their families, and my staff.
Born and raised in Illinois, my education and experience come from the Land of Lincoln. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from Eureka College. Although my degree is in Elementary Education, my love and passion is found in Early Childhood Education. Throughout my career, I have taught 2-year old’s, preschool, and pre-k; owned and operated an in-home daycare, directed a Head Start program, and directed corporately owned childcare centers that also included a kindergarten program!
In my free time, you can catch me with my four children probably attending a sporting event! We are a huge, sports-loving family.
Ms. Tara
Assistant Director
Hello! My name is Tara, and I am so excited to be the assistant director at Little Sunshine Playhouse and Preschool of Mt. Juliet. I can’t wait to get to know you and your sweet families.
I attended college at the University of Alabama where I double majored in Human Development and Family Studies with concentrations in Child Life and Early Childhood Education. My education has given me the opportunity to work with children in a variety of settings including homes, camps, schools, and even hospitals. Regardless of the location, my passion lies with the innocence of children and guiding them towards a growth mindset with the hope it will follow them throughout life.
I have lived in Tennessee since 2015 and have no intention of ever leaving. My husband and I met racing cars at a local autocross event. We have one son, two dogs, and … cars. I love being outdoors, enjoying a nice cup of coffee, cute animals, and hanging out with family and friends.
