Our Mission

Our mission is to educate with an anti-bias curriculum by celebrating the uniqueness of each child’s abilities. We believe families play a vital role in a young child’s education. Through a parent teacher approach we play a primary role in every child’s development and growth.  We will strive to provide a secure, nurturing, educational, welcoming and stimulating environment for each child.

Rachel and Tyler Kirby

Our names are Rachael and Tyler Kirby, Owners of Little Sunshines Learning Center. Tyler and I grew up in the Northwoods and I have always wanted to run a childcare facility. I earned my Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education at Nicolet while working at two different childcare centers. I then transferred to UW-Stout where I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Human Development and Family Studies where I had the opportunity to work at another center and gain valuable knowledge about educating young children. After graduation I was employed as a Parent and Prenatal Educator at a pregnancy clinic in Platteville, WI and Dubuque, IA. There I taught prenatal education, birthing and breastfeeding, behavioral guidance, baby care, and many other classes to new and expecting parents. Later, I was hired to be Director over the Parent Education Department in both Iowa and Wisconsin. After the birth of our daughter; Sophia, Tyler and I decided to move back up north to raise her by family and follow our dreams! Sophia is now eight years old and has four brothers. Amos; six years old, Isaiah; four years old, Jonah; three years old, and Matthew; eighteen months. Tyler and I are so blessed to be able to play a role in the education of your children. In our spare time, we all love to be outdoors: going for walks, four-wheeling, swimming, and traveling.
