Our Leadership Team
Mrs. Lindsey
Program Director
Hello! My name is Lindsey, I am the proud Program director at Little Sunshine’s Playhouse & Preschool® of Springfield at Claremont.
I have worked in childcare for more than 15 years and consider it one of my greatest passions. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to teach infant classrooms all the way through pre-k and earned the titles “Preschool Classroom of the Year and Outstanding Nature Classroom for Infants.” I have my national certification in early childhood and I am currently finishing up my four-year degree in early childhood.
On a personal note, my husband and I live on a farm and love watching hockey and baseball together! Go Blues and Cardinals!! I also enjoy going on long runs and spending time with my family.
I love sharing all my experiences, knowledge, and passion with my staff and our incredible LSP families.
Mrs. Samantha
Assistant director
Hello and welcome to Little Sunshine’s Playhouse and Preschool® of Springfield, MO at Claremont.
I started my career in child care at 18 years old working through an early child care program at my high school. From there I have worked in quite a few facilities. I began my adventure with Little Sunshine’s in September of 2015 at our Cardinal location as the early preschool teacher. There I got a reputation for fun art and science projects, where the kids got to get their little hands messy! I love watching kiddos explore the world with their senses and the light in their eyes as they learn something new!! I was offered the opportunity to become the assistant director of this location in April 2016. I look forward to meeting your family and helping your child learn and grow!
On a personal note: I love playing with my three children and my husband. I am very involved with the youth at my church. I teach the teen Sunday school class and work with the elementary age kids on Thursday nights. I also sing with my 13-year-old daughter on our praise team.

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.”
