Deanna, Leah and the rest of the Sunshine House staff are great. Both of our kiddos have gone to the center since they were babies and we’ve had a wonderful experience there. We now have a school age kid and the Sunshine House did a fantastic job of preparing her for a successful year of Kindergarten. Overall, the staff seems to really care about the kids and provides a fun learning environment.
Sunshine House has been a GREAT solution for our family! Deanna, Leah, and their whole team care well for every kid and go out of their way to make sure they have a great experience. Clean, safe, fun, and educational - hard to beat! Thankful for such a great place for my kids!
We send our 10 month old and three year old daughter here and could not be more happy with intentional care provided. Their teachers in the infant room, two year old room, and preschool room have helped increase our confidence in using day care as child care with the supportive environment they have provided. The directors have been so attentive to our needs as well since we started. Both kids eat all the meals provided as well, we like the updates we get on the app indicating this. Lastly, the activities provided by the teachers help keep our baby toddler engaged - our toddler especially loves the water sprinkler days in summer !
We have loved The Sunshine House! Deanna was great to work with during enrollment and even day to day. My daughter is in the infant room with Kiahna, Chantel and Kylie. They are all so caring and attentive. I enjoy that they use an app to keep you updated on how the day is going and it’s always cute to get a photo of my daughter playing. I highly recommend The Sunshine House.
The management here is… weird, to say the least. Never says hello when you walk in, avoids eye contact. What is going on?? Additionally, the program encourages children to only learn through play, not actual instruction. The teachers are not allowed to teach calendars, name recognition and writing, listening during circle time, etc. it’s whatever the kids want, they get. Look at elsewhere for school readiness.
