I can’t say enough good things about Sunrise Day care! The staff is incredibly warm, attentive, and professional. My child has flourished in their care, and I love how they offer a stimulating and safe environment. The communication is excellent, and I always feel informed and confident about the care my little one is receiving. Highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for quality childcare!

My Daughter has been here since she was about 9 or 10 months old. They Are Absolutely AMAZING. So patient, kind and protective over the kids. I love how the directors and some teachers are big advocates for her. You can really tell that they treat the kids like their own and it's so wholesome, my daughter is 3 now and has had huge millstones since she started in the baby classroom. As a single mom doing things on my own its tough, but they are so patient with both me and my daughter and as long as there is thorough communication, there are never any issues! Thank you for loving my girl, Sunrise! <

My girls have been attending Sunrise Daycare for 7 months now. They are 20 months old. I chose this school because the director and the owner and the teachers were very welcoming and transparent. My girls run into class every morning with enthusiasm because they are excited to see their friends. Mrs. Amani is very knowledgeable about child care and she even shares her personal experiences with me to help at home, outside of daycare. I love that my children are learning a second language on top of English. All of the teachers respect my husband and I and our wishes for our children while they're at school. Even in challenging times, the teachers at Sunrise Daycare empathize with me and my husband and our children to make things comfortable. The staff certainly feels like family and I've recommended this facility to two of my friends.

My kids have been attending this center for years. The staff is caring and professional, providing a nurturing and stimulating environment. The facility is clean, safe, and filled with engaging activities. Communication with parents is excellent. Our child loves it here and has thrived.

This school deserves a zero. They left my 3 year old unsupervised in the bathroom where he fell off the toilet and severely damaged his gums and jaw after we watched the teacher yank him up by his arm aggressively. Then they lied about it and refused to show us the footage of what happened until we called the cops and also got child protective services involved. The officer on call had to also tell them to not keep skipping through the footage because they knew they messed up and were tryna cover it up. There were more reviews on this school involving children getting hurt in their care and they had them taken down. Don't send your children here if you value their safety. How this place stays in business with so many injuries to children is insane.
