Meet Our Director, Ella Simmons
My name is Ella Simmons, and I have 24 years of experience in the Early Childhood field. My Early Childhood career began in April 1998 working with the South Carolina Disabilities and Special Needs Board Children’s Center. I worked there for 8 years, then in April 2007 I opened my own childcare licensed facility as the Owner, Director, and Operator until June 2012. I then worked for Head Start for 10 years, first as an Assistant Teacher for 4 years, and soon after I became a Lead Teacher. I’m excited about my new role as the Center Director at the Sunshine House.
I have a Master’s Degree in Education with a specialization in Early Childhood Education from Ashford University that I obtained in December 2017. I also have a Bachelor’s Degree in Organizational Management that I obtained in May 2006 from Voorhees College and an Associate Degree in Early Care and Education from Denmark Technical College in May 2004.
I have a son that just recently graduated from USC, and I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.
I look forward to creating and maintaining an environment where your child can grow and thrive while exploring the world around them.
Thank you for sharing your precious children with us.
Meet Our Assistant Director, Angela Hill
My name is Angela Hill, and I am so excited to join The Sunshine House team. I have been in the Early Childhood Education field since 2001. I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Child Development from The University of La Verne in La Verne, California in 2007.
Throughout my many years in the Early Childhood field, I have taught all ages from preschool through high school. In my spare time I enjoy making bracelets, shopping, and decorating my home.
Together with a team of amazing teachers and staff, I am committed to providing your family with a loving and safe foundation for a lifetime of learning.
