Who we are & what we love!
Welcome to Our Little Learners' Paradise, where every corner is sprinkled with joy, creativity, and imagination! Unleash the magic of discovery through our enchanting early childhood education resources designed to inspire curiosity and growth in every child.
Our preschool will integrate elements from three educational approaches we admire—the Reggio Emilia, HighScope, and Steiner Waldorf methods. We believe combining these philosophies will allow us to create a rich, child-centered learning environment.
We are located at Quickstep Dance Studio in Sandy, UT. Being inside of a dance studio gives us the exact flexibility in location and room usage that we want to help our little learners explore, and develop.

Shauna Tuiono has been an early childhood educator since 2011, driven by a deep passion for teaching young learners and a strong understanding of their unique developmental needs. Her interest in child-centered education led her to study the Montessori method early in her career. She holds an Early Childhood Credential and earned her Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Grand Canyon University. Shauna has taught in a variety of educational settings, including Montessori preschools, a nature-based preschool, and most recently, an elementary school. She is committed to creating nurturing, engaging environments where young children feel empowered to explore, grow, and thrive. Outside the classroom, Shauna enjoys spending time with her preschool-age child—reading together, playing with cars and trains, and discovering the joy of learning through play. She and her husband also love baking from scratch and are always on the hunt for new recipes to try.
