Little Sunshine’s Playhouse

About Little Sunshine’s Playhouse

In 1998 Rochette Dahler opened her Springfield, Missouri home to local families in search of child care. Her reputation for bringing a superior preschool program and the Reggio Emilia approach to her founding students began the Little Sunshine’s legacy. Through passion, determination, and vision, the first official Little Sunshine’s Playhouse & Preschool® was born in 2002. Through the Reggio Emilia approach, our mission is to foster a love of learning through curiosity, collaboration, and play. We acknowledge and value each child’s individual abilities, differences and strengths to enhance positive self-esteem and understanding of the community. Today Little Sunshine’s Playhouse passionately serves thousands of families and provides quality early educational care to children ages 6 weeks to 6 years.
