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

PEORIA, Ariz., Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Little Sunshine's Playhouse, a nationally recognized leader in early childhood education, is proud to announce the groundbreaking of its newest location in Peoria, Arizona. 

The groundbreaking ceremony celebrated the beginning of construction on the future Little Sunshine's Playhouse of Peoria, AZ, which will serve children ages 6 weeks through Pre-K. Community members, families, and members of the Little Sunshine's Playhouse leadership team gathered to celebrate what this new school will mean for the families of Peoria.

"Breaking ground on a new location is always a deeply meaningful moment for our team," said Brett Roubal, CEO at Little Sunshine's Playhouse. "It represents a real commitment to a community, a promise that we are building something intentional, something lasting, and something that will make a genuine difference. We could not be more excited to be here."

The Peoria location will feature Little Sunshine's Playhouse's signature castle-inspired architecture, thoughtfully designed classrooms, and the company's proprietary Creatively Shine® curriculum, rooted in the Reggio Emilia philosophy. This play-based approach emphasizes collaboration and hands-on discovery, guided by highly trained educators who honor each child's individuality and treat the early years with the seriousness and joy they deserve.

Pre-enrolled families will receive construction updates and exclusive invitations to future events as the school prepares to open its doors.
