Little Sunshine's Playhouse Breaks Ground on New Preschool in Peoria

PEORIA, Ariz., Sept. 3, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Little Sunshine's Playhouse, a leading provider of early childhood education, has taken a significant step towards expanding its network with the groundbreaking ceremony for its new preschool in Peoria, Arizona. The ceremony, attended by community members, families, and Little Sunshine's Playhouse leadership, marked the beginning of construction on the future preschool, which will serve children from 6 weeks through Pre-K.

Brett Roubal, CEO of Little Sunshine's Playhouse, expressed his excitement about the new location, stating, "Breaking ground on a new location is always a deeply meaningful moment for our team. It represents a real commitment to the community, a promise that we are building something intentional, something lasting, and something that will make a genuine difference."

The new Peoria preschool will boast Little Sunshine's Playhouse's signature castle-inspired architecture, thoughtfully designed classrooms, and the company’s proprietary Creatively Shine® curriculum, which is rooted in the Reggio Emilia philosophy. This play-based approach emphasizes collaboration and hands-on discovery, guided by highly trained educators who respect and nurture each child's individuality.

Pre-enrolled families will receive regular updates on the construction progress and be invited to future events as the school prepares to open its doors. The company encourages families who have not yet pre-enrolled to do so, as interest in the Peoria location has been strong, and classroom spots are expected to fill quickly.

The new Peoria location will offer several unique features, including: - Reggio Emilia-inspired learning that fosters real school readiness through hands-on projects, storytelling, science, and creative exploration - The LuvNotes® app, which keeps parents connected with real-time photos and updates - Red Carpet Service™, ensuring quick and effortless drop-offs without the need for parents to leave their cars - Chef-prepared meals and snacks served daily - A secure double-entry system and vigilant safety protocols to ensure children's safety - Extracurricular activities such as music, yoga, language, and cultural celebrations - Thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces
