Meet Our Director, Jeannie Russell
Hi, I’m Jeannie Russell, and I’ve been in childcare since 2006. While I’ve worked with all age groups, two-year-olds are my specialty. I hold a Master's Degree in Business Administration with a focus in Human Resources.
Before moving to Tennessee in 2018, I taught in Georgia. I’m a proud mother to a beautiful daughter, and we love spending time together—whether it's playing card games, roller skating, or baking delicious desserts.
I’m dedicated to providing high-quality education with a focus on developmentally appropriate practices for children. At The Sunshine House, families will find a welcoming, organized environment full of laughter and learning, supported by a motivated and creative team. Above all, we strive to offer families peace of mind, knowing their children are in caring hands.
Meet Our Assistant Director, Lindsey Driggers
Hi, I’m Lindsey Driggers! I’ve been in childcare since 2019, starting in the Infant classroom and quickly advancing to Assistant Director due to my drive and natural ability to connect with the work. I hold a Master’s Degree in Business Administration with a focus on Human Resources and am committed to lifelong learning.
Originally from Georgia, I moved to Tennessee in 2019, where I started a family with my husband and two sons. We love spending time together, whether it’s playing games, solving puzzles, or camping in our RV.
I believe children learn best through play. Being part of the Hixson Sunshine House team has shown me the power of a positive, welcoming environment. It not only boosts staff morale but also fosters the trust and love we share with the families and children we serve.
