My child has been going here full-time since he was 8 weeks old. I know that he is very well taken care of because he absolutely LOVES going to daycare. The meals they feed him are amazing and I love that as weather permits, he gets some fresh air & plays outside. His teachers are wonderful and I feel 100% confident knowing he is always in good/capable hands when I am working.

I love it here! My son was in the 3 yr old & Pre-K classes. They teach up a year, but there is no feeling that the kids are stressed by it. It's all age appropriate & they seem completely ready for it. I can tell the teachers have taught & practiced the rituals/routines and expectations well, so the kids know what to expect and what's expected of them. That and staying well staffed prevents so many issues you normally see. He was only there 2 days a week and still learned his letters, the sounds they make, and how to write them. He knows numbers and can count past 100 (the standard is to 20). He has gained such a beautiful, godly foundation. I'm sure the staff make very little and are truly amazing. The families are really great as well. I am a former elementary teacher and have worked in multiple childcare centers. Sonshine Center is truly excellent.

All three of my babies have attended sonshine center since 3 months old. I honestly have not had a single bad experience in the past 5 years. These teachers truly care about the kids and provide the best quality care for them. This place has developed into a second family for us and has become our village. I always feel confident dropping my kids off knowing that they will be loved throughout the day. I would recommend Sonshine center to everyone!

I cannot say enough great things about the Sonshine Center! I have two boys (4 and 2), and both have been at the Sonshine Center since they were both about 3 months old. The staff in every classroom they’ve been in (they move up with age) have all been incredible. They love my kids like they’re their own and take such great care of them. Leaving your children in someone else’s care can be scary, but I can honestly say that I’ve NEVER worried about my kids here. You need a key card to access the building and the communication has always been outstanding. I can’t tell you how many amazing pictures and crafts I get on a regular basis. My 4 year old is already reading and can count forwards and backwards from 100, plus by 5s and 10s. They definitely have fun, but they learn a lot too! When my kids have been out sick, their teachers even call or text me personally to check on them. I know without a doubt the staff love my children, and my children love them just as much. There’s no better feeling in the world than knowing your kids are in great hands. Again, I can’t say enough great things about this place - it’s A+ all around.

After five years at Sonshine Center, I cannot say enough. Our kids started at 8 weeks old and we have never had worry about their safety or happiness there. The families that attend the center and the staff that care for the children have become our village. We have been thankful for the communication from staff and from the administration both on a daily basis and through challenging times. Our kids have flourished and have a place that is their second home.
