Dennisha Pratt is a host of The Sunny Side Up Show on Sprout, the first 24-hour preschool destination available on TV, on demand and online for kids ages 2-5 and their parents and caregivers. Along with her co-host, Chica the Chicken, Dennisha interacts live with preschoolers and their families across the country, as she shares daily birthday greetings, viewer-submitted crafts, fun facts and weekly themes ranging from colors, numbers and letters to manners, gardening and pets.

A 29-year-old actor originally from Macon, GA, Dennisha has always loved performing. At the early age of five, she was active in singing, African dance, ballet, tap and piano. Her first starring role was in a kindergarten musical production called "The Rainbow Connection." Dennisha continued with various roles in theater productions throughout grade school and high school, and also performed with a local dance company.

Dennisha attended the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and earned a B.S. in Human Development and Family Studies with a concentration in Child and Adolescents. Upon graduating, Dennisha worked in Greensboro as an after-school teacher at Archer Elementary School and as a summer camp counselor at Bryan Family YMCA, where she developed a love of childhood education and learning through creative play. During this time, she also was active in community theater.

Over the last couple years, Dennisha has done a variety of student films and has also appeared on network soap operas "The Guiding Light" and "As The World Turns."

As host of The Sunny Side Up Show, Dennisha links Sprout's gold-standard, curriculum-based programs with live segments that create a warm, welcoming and fun environment where preschoolers and their parents can gather each morning to prepare for the day ahead and share birthdays, greetings, ideas, crafts and more. Airing everyday from 9 a.m. - noon ET, The Sunny Side Up Show is television's only live show for preschoolers.

Dennisha lives in Philadelphia with her husband, and her hobbies include music, traveling and discovering new foods.
