LSP is truly a second family for my two children. My son has been going here since we was 9 months old and is about to graduate to Kindergarten at the end of this year. We loved it so much that we decided to enroll our daughter at just 9 weeks old because we knew she would be 100 percent taken care of. We have always been able to check in on our kiddos whenever needed and get constant updates from their App about how our kids are doing for the day including what and when they are doing things like eating, playing, learning. Ms. Lydia and Ms. Taylor are our sons teachers and they have fully prepared him to start his school journey off right with teaching valuable skills like reading, writing, and creative learning. Our daughter is always completely taken care of thanks to her wonderful teachers Ms. Neicey, Ms. Denaysha, and Ms. Shelbi and she truly loves them like they are her family! I never leave with my children upset, they are always happy to be there with all their teachers! Of course non of this would be the case if it wasn't for their incredible leadership from Latryce, Daytona, and Melanie! Honestly your kids will be in the best care with these wonderful people who love them as if they are their own children everyday.Thank you LSP for being such an incredible support for our family!

Little Sunshine’s Playhouse is a loving and engaging daycare and I highly recommend it. We are returning parents (our youngest attended from 2016-2018), and have been impressed with the school and especially with the transition and toddler rooms. The front office team (Latryce, Daytona, and Dawn) are so welcoming and responsive, and build relationships with each of the families that enroll. The teachers are loving, engaging, and creative. Yasmine and Des in the transition room are amazing (my son still gives them big waves and extra long cuddles when he sees them), and Haley and Madi have also been wonderful in the Toddler room.They send thorough updates and pictures to parents throughout the day through their app. We receive 5-10 photos of our son each day, which brings us joy and comfort in knowing that our baby is having fun at school. The children’s days are filled with fun art projects, dancing, bubbles, time outdoors in their two shaded playgrounds, and a variety of meals. We have also enjoyed the family parties that the school hosts around the holidays and the portraits that LSP offers.We toured nearly every infant daycare in the North Scottsdale area and have been pleased with our choice in LSP!

I truly cannot put into words how wonderful Little Sunshine’s Scottsdale is! From everyone in the front office to the teachers, they are all such kind and caring people.As first time parents that cared for our son at home for the first 10 months, it was really important to us to find a place that would treat his care as we would to make the transition as easy as possible. I can’t say enough great things about how easy the whole team at LSP made it for us. From answering tons of questions so we felt comfortable to checking in with us to make sure we knew things were going well, the personal touches and genuine care from everyone there is incredible.Our son started in the infant room for a few weeks prior to his first birthday and transitioned to the 1 year old room after. Every single one of his teachers so far are amazingly supportive and attentive to his needs. He absolutely adores his current teachers Ms. Yasmine and Ms. Kennya - he literally squeals with joy every day when we get to the classroom :) The front office team, Latryce, Daytona & Haley, are also so wonderful and create such a warm, positive environment for all LSP families!We are so excited to continue to watch our son grow at LSP and know he’s doing so well because of the care he receives every day. We are so thankful to have found Little Sunshine’s Scottsdale!!

In my opinion, choosing a school that is the perfect fit for your child is one of the most daunting tasks out there for a parent. A place where your little one is loved and cared for while simultaneously learning and growing as well as taking into account their individual needs and personalities. I am so incredibly grateful to the staff at LSP for creating this environment for my daughter. Latryce, Daytona and Ms Haley were so warm when I came to tour the school and spent extra time comforting me (haha) on my daughters first day. The facility is so clean and well maintained and the food is incredible (thanks Ms Dawn)! I originally started my daughter at 2 days but after the first week seeing her growth, progress and enthusiasm I immediately moved her to 3! My daughters teachers are INCREDIBLE!! I can’t say enough great things about Ms Clara and Ms Jess! They are always smiling, positive and patient. When I pick up my daughter they talk to me about all her little tendencies which make me realize how much attention they pay to her and how much they truly care for her. Not only this, but the app is incredible along with all the adorable photos they send! I live near paradise valley and although there are many great schools in that area , I will continue to bring my little one to LSP until she graduates!!

I was applying for a job here and the second I walked into the classroom, a toddler walked up to me with a marble in his mouth…. No one was watching him. There was chemical bottles on the smallest dresser in the room so the kids were trying to play with it. The teachers in the room had awful attitudes towards the kids and it was just so uncomfortable for me. I’m glad I don’t work here.

THE BEST SCHOOL!! We love Little Sunshines. From the moment we toured this school, we knew our little guy would be safe, loved and cared for here. Our little one started just after 1 and has been here ever since. He’s transitioned to different rooms and is about to go to his third classroom. The teachers and administrative staff are AMAZING. Maddie and Yasmine were his first teachers in the lower classroom and they are so thoughtful and kind. They make it seem so easy to take care of a bunch of little 1-2 year olds. Clara, Zoey and Natalya are his current teachers and we can’t say enough good things about them. Add in Dawn (chef), Daytona, Latryce and Haley in the front office and you’ve got a whole staff that truly cares about each and every kid. Everyone knows the kids names, likes, dislikes and how to help each one grow individually. It’s not a one size fits all situation and they truly do what is best for the kid, not the school. They’ll help with dietary restrictions, potty training, keep track of milestones and teach them things I never could’ve thought of doing at home. We love them and would recommend this school to anyone!

I truly cannot say enough positive about Little Sunshines, the front office staff and in classroom teachers. We started with Little Sunshines the very end of 2019. Both of my sons started there as infants. I had a really hard time emotionally transitioning my kids from home to daycare (my kids didn't have a hard time... I had a hard time). But Little Sunshines made me feel so comfortable. They even would comfort me when I got emotional and had no problem with me calling to check in several times a day. I never had to worry about their safety and I knew they were being cared for.I love their curriculum that is play based. I toured almost every daycare/preschool from Cave Creek to Paradise Valley and none compared to Little Sunshines. There is a fun, creative and happy environment that allows my kids to grow and develop emotionally, socially and mentally. They have a new theme every month which keeps it exciting for the kids. My oldest son comes home with new facts everyday and always has positive things to say about his day.My oldest is 3.5 years old and my youngest is 16 months. My kids have special dietary and medical needs. I know that those needs are being taken seriously and it is great I don't have to worry about that while they are there. I also LOVE the app they released about a year ago. I get updates all day long with pictures and can message the teachers directly.Whenever I hear somebody talking about needing daycare or preschool I do not hesitate to insist they check out Little Sunshines in Scottsdale. It is a second home to my children and they are part of our family. My oldest even will ask about his teachers and the front office staff in the evenings and on the weekends. I love everyone who works there.Latryce, Daytona, Haley and Dawn in the front office are amazing! They are the most caring, patient, genuine and loving people you could know. You can tell they truly love what they do and the kids adore them.My oldest just got two new teachers, Ms. Piper and Ms. Natalya. He normally really struggles with changes to his daily routine, but he adjusted so quickly to Piper and Natalya. They are amazing at what they do. My son always has stories for me about his day. He also spends time in the Pre-K class with Ms. Ashley who he adores. She colored a picture for him that he carried around with him for days.My youngest is in the transition rooms. He is going through a clingy phase right now but as soon as he see Ms. Kennya, Ms. Maddie or Ms. Yasmine he runs right to them for a big hug. He is almost always happy when I pick him up. The days he is not so happy, I find him in one of their laps getting the snuggles and love he needs.I could write a whole book on why I love this school. I will not take my kids anywhere else through Pre-K.Thank you Little Sunshines in Scottsdale for being so amazing! We love you!

The five stars are for the infant class with Ms. Jordan and Ms. Jenna. In the short time they have been there, they have done an amazing job and have made our experience much more enjoyable. You can see they truly care for the children and get very creative with activities, especially arts and crafts. LSP is lucky to have them.

We absolutely LOVE Little Sunshine's!! They've been like family from the beginning and Miss Jordan is amazing. Our little has blossomed since Miss Jordan started and she loves all the babes like her own! Couldn't imagine sending ours anywhere else!

Finding a daycare that checked all the boxes was extremely difficult. I was looking for a clean, fun educational place for my son to thrive in. We also wanted to put my son in a more "social" atmosphere because we were concerned his speech was delayed. He was hardly saying any words when we first started at LSP and now his speech has improved immensely in a short period of time. I know my son loves it too because he gets so excited the second we turn into the parking! Ms. Bre, Sierra and Haley are so loving and always so welcoming. The variety of activities they do throughout the day are so fun and creative. I am forever grateful for his wonderful teachers. Thank you LSP!

We have been so incredibly happy at Little Sunshine's Playhouse and Preschool of Scottsdale and are so sad to leave. When I found out we would be relocating, the first thing I did was look to see if LSP had a location nearby (sadly, no). Our son has absolutely loved his time at LSP and I know he will miss his teachers and friends. We are so grateful to Jenn and Latryce for all their support in helping us with enrollment and start times during a pandemic, as well as keeping the students and families as safe as possible enforcing precautions and following CDC guidelines while still creating a fun, engaging environment for early childhood education. We also know our son has loved being with his teachers. He has had Miss Whitney, Miss Daytona, Miss Dawn, and Miss Devina, and they are so wonderful and supportive of his sweet, silly personality. Our son even told his grandparents about his teachers at "playhouse school" over vacation and how much he missed them when we were at the beach! We get daily reports and pictures and it's so wonderful seeing what the teachers have to say about our child and what the class did as a whole. There's a weekly curriculum/meal plan outline and monthly units (recent favorites include dinosaurs and space!). I would highly recommend LSP Scottsdale to families looking for a school with a safe and fun learning environment.

LSP has been the best place to work! I absolutely loved working here... if I wouldn't have moved away I would still be working here until I'm 80!!! Jenn and Latryce are the BEST! I cannot say enough great things working here was my home away from home. They truly make you feel like family. LSP parents are AMAZING! If you are looking for childcare or a place to work LSP is where you should look.

We LOVE Little Sunshine! Miss Hannah, Carly, Jenn and Latryce make our daughter feel so special and cared for every day. She walks into school without looking back...we're lucky if we get a backwards wave goodbye Thank you, Little Sunshine Team, for loving on our Baby!
