Meet Our Director, Fran Bartlett

Hi! My name is Fran Bartlett and I have dedicated more than 30 years to shaping young minds at The Sunshine House, where my passion is caring and nurturing children every day. I am a proud graduate of Trident Technical College, where I earned honors in applied science and early childhood education, laying the foundation for a lifelong career in early learning.

I have been married to my husband, John, for over three decades. I find joy in family life with our two children, Cody and Kobe, and our beloved dog, Myles. Other things I love doing are spending time at the beach, getting lost in a good book, and enjoying music. I am committed to early childhood education and am so thankful to be a part of the Sunshine House family!

We know everyone’s schedule is different, and our goal is to be here when our families need us. Please contact our school for the most up-to-date availability of part-time or drop-in care.
