Little Sunshine Playhouse-University City provides a warm, engaging, and well-run environment for…read morechildren. The staff is welcoming, diverse, professional, and genuinely nurturing. The school balances structure with fun, offering creative themes and activities that keep children excited to learn. From the beginning, the environment has felt intentional, secure, and thoughtfully designed for kids. Our family enrolled our daughter in August 2025. Before that, she stayed home full-time until age two and was very much a "stage 5 Velcro baby." The transition was emotional at first, especially at drop-off, but the growth we've seen since then has been incredibly encouraging. She now confidently gives hugs goodbye, happily says "bye-bye," and walks into her classroom with ease. She genuinely enjoys school and is happy during pick-up, which gives us peace of mind. There have been a few instances where we needed to remind staff to clean our child's face, hands, or nose after meals or messy play, as well as change her into clean clothes when needed. Parents are asked to provide at least two sets of weather-appropriate spare clothes for this purpose, and on occasion, changes were not made as promptly as we would have preferred. There have also been times when personal items were misplaced. That said, staff consistently communicated with us, made genuine efforts to locate items, and worked to improve. We understand that managing multiple toddlers and their belongings is a common challenge in any preschool setting. What matters to us is that concerns are taken seriously and addressed, which has been our overall experience here. Leadership has been a major strength. Ms. Katelyn, the Director, played a large role in our decision to choose LSP. As parents who were understandably nervous, she spent significant time with us before enrollment, both on the phone and in person, explaining the school's philosophy, operations, safety measures, and procedures. She remains approachable, responsive, and consistently kind. Ms. Lucy, the Assistant Director, is equally welcoming, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with. Staff shout-outs: Ms. Amanda, a head teacher, is exceptionally friendly, caring, and highly creative. Her warmth and creativity are evident throughout the school. Mr. Daniel is upbeat, professional, and consistently friendly during evening pick-ups. Ms. Alina, another head teacher, is more reserved and has a straightforward, businesslike communication style. Her creativity is visible in school projects and displays. Ms. Niya, our child's current lead teacher, met with us prior to enrollment, gave us a full tour of the school and playground, and offered reassurance during the transition. She is warm, attentive, and a strong educator. Ms. Victoria, Ms. Sabrina, Ms. Jaela, Ms. Wafae, Ms. Nabila, and Ms. Cassie have all been kind, professional, and attentive in their roles. Communication is excellent. Phones are always answered, and messages through the app are returned promptly, usually within the hour. When concerns are raised, leadership responds quickly and respectfully. The school is clean, beautifully decorated, and secure. Drop-off and pick-up are smooth, classroom ratios are followed, and security measures (controlled entry, cameras, and app communication) are strong. Meals and snacks are included, hours are 6:30 AM-6 PM, and nap time is well-structured and age-appropriate. One important note for families is cost. It's expensive. Little Sunshine Playhouse is on the higher end and is priced as a premium program. Overall, our family is very happy with Little Sunshine Playhouse-University City and would confidently recommend it to families seeking a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for their child.

The counselor sent my child to the hospital without consulting with me to discuss whether there were any "problems" then called dcfs..... mind you this is a child who was placed in counseling due to problems of being a "typical teenager"! The dcfs case worker, my child's primary care provider and the hospital social worker all agreed these were completely unnecessary steps taken by an inexperienced individual!!!!! * I want to add she called DCFS on me for mental anguish because My child was made to go to counseling instead of their sports practice.

Update: Angie is an absolute liar. The story of my 5 year old biting is completely untrue and…read morecompletely fabricated it blows my mind. First, I did not badmouth two previous daycare. We had an issue with a previous one that my second one wasn't thriving (the youngest they took was 3 and he started at 2 and was not doing well but NO issues with biting ever. Wtf?!), which is why I pulled him out. However, my oldest thrived there, graduated and finished out there without a single issue. He did so well that they wanted him to continue kindergarten there. Also, i was not seeking immediate enrollment. She was the first school I visited and had 3 more schools lined up the following week. Angie gave a special discount to celebrate her birthday and that she would waive the application fee. I made an impulsive move to enroll immediately and lesson learned, I should have waited and interviewed the other schools. I've never met anyone ever who've lied so much! Disclaimer: As the third family in 6 months who've gone through her bizarre behavior, here are our takeaways. She has threatened families in the past with legal actions to anyone who left with a negative experience. My second son, Miles, has been going there for about ten months. Everything was going great, at least; we thought so. Besides knowing that she was having issues with two other sets of parents over the last 6 months, I didn't think much of it. I thought it was just two isolated incidents. But now, counting our family, it accounts for 50% of her classroom! The whole week has been incredibly normal. She was nice and jovial with each pickup. She even liked my Mother's Day post on Instagram on Sunday. By Wednesday at 4 pm, Matt went to pick up Miles. The interaction was normal like usual, except she handed him an envelope. Not thinking much about it since Miles's last day is next Friday, 05/26; we thought it was a receipt. Matt took it, buckled Miles, and left. He saw this letter when he got to a stop light to open the envelope. It was a letter of termination without any explanation or clarification. My husband called me frantically. I was shocked because I had no idea what we had done. I tried messaging and calling her; but she wouldn't return any of our calls. I checked our app, and we were kicked out promptly at 4 pm. Since we were friends on Instagram, I went there only to find she blocked me. Initially, I was worried. I thought she was getting shut down or something had happened to her. I messaged the other parents to see if they got the same note. But none of them did. That night, my husband and I were trying hard to figure out what we'd done wrong to receive this magnitude of a response. There was no clarification in her letter of why we were getting terminated either. All of our interactions have been positive and brief. No written or verbal warnings either. The next morning, my friend sent me this video from her Instagram. This is what blew my mind. She posted this video on her social media blasting me and the other parents with these unfounded claims and untruths!! Here's the kicker - She posted this at 1:30 pm BEFORE we were even notified that we were getting terminated at 4 pm when she blocked all communication. We didn't even know why we were getting terminated, and I was trying to get answers so I could even apologize! Livid, I left her a scathing voicemail to ask her to take that video down! It was then she acknowledged us and emailed us saying that we were dosing and dropping Miles, which is a complete lie! Miles had a mild cough, but we NEVER medicated him as he did not exhibit any symptoms of sickness or infections. She never even communicated with us at all, saying that his cough was problematic. We've also never received any verbal or written warnings for any violations. She said she can terminate based on suspicion, which is fine. It's her business; she can do whatever she wants. But to post a pre-meditated video based on false narratives, gossiping about parents before even notifying us we were getting terminated AND blocking us off social media just takes the cake. It makes me sick that I placed my child in this woman's care who could turn on you just like that. This whole ordeal has been so strange and weird. And now I feel terrible because Miles has told me several times that she was mean to him. I didn't think too much of it since he's 4 and figured he was blowing it out of proportion if she had a firm voice or something. Moral of the story: Please find a licensed daycare. She's unlicensed, which should have been a red flag. This has been verified by the licensing department. She markets herself as license-exempt, but they check their database and she's not listed. The office said license-exempt is only reserved for churches, etc, not an in-home daycare. If you do go through an unlicensed daycare, make sure to find a spot where there are at least two people working or someone who doesn't lie.

Angie's caring, kind, and patient demeanor has made a profound impact on our son. It's wonderful to see how much he enjoys learning and playing in such a nurturing environment! I also love that they get outside as much as they can during the day! We couldn't be more grateful for the loving care and attention Ms. Angie shares!

The staff here are great. During our first visit we noticed all of the staff had smiles on their faces. All of the kids seemed happy too. This visit was a surprise visit so I know it wasn't staged. To top it all off, they were the cheapest day care we had visited. FSLC offers more services than most other day cares. They offer 24 hour care for those parents that work shifts. They also offer a "Parent's Night Out" one Saturday each month. This consist of child care from 6 pm to midnight to allow parents to go out and have fun by themselves. This is really nice for those parents that may not have a close family support system and just need a night to themselves. Our son has been going to Five Star Learning Center for over a month now and I still feel the same way. I know our son is getting the proper care and attention he needs. He comes home happy every day and is hitting his milestones. I feel he is treated just as if he were one of their own. I am truly amazed by this place after hearing horror stories of day cares.
