I highly recommend Sunshine Preschool at Vinci Park. Both of my children, M & J, have attended this wonderful daycare, and our experience has been nothing short of excellent. The environment is warm and nurturing, with a range of engaging activities that keep the kids excited to come each day. M has grown up and moved on to Sunshine After School Care, but she still loves visiting her old preschool. She happily hugs her former teachers when picking up her brother, J. It’s clear that the positive impact of Sunshine Preschool extends beyond the classroom. The bilingual aspect of the program is a fantastic bonus, enriching the children's learning experience. Overall, Sunshine Preschool has been a wonderful place for both of my kids, and I’m grateful for the care and attention they received.

My son Ryan attended Sunshine preschool at Vinci Park for 2 year and he loves it! The teachers are nice and really take care of kids. My son has grow up and left. But he often misses Sunshine and went back to visit teachers occasionally.

My son has been attending Vinci Park Sunshine since March of last year, and he fell in love with Sunshine Preschool from the very first day. Prior to enrolling at Sunshine, we had tried another preschool for two to three months, and he absolutely despised it. He used to cry every time we dropped him off. However, since switching to Sunshine last year, he cried for only two minutes on the first day, and after that, he has been excited to go to school every single day. The school has an impressive teacher-to-student ratio of approximately 1:4, and every teacher is exceptionally patient and attentive to the children's needs. Whenever a teacher is on leave for a few days, my son always mentions how much he misses them. The bilingual environment, where both English and Chinese are spoken, is ideal for kids transitioning from home to school. We are extremely pleased with our experience at Vinci Park Sunshine Preschool. It's evident that the teachers genuinely care about the children, and the positive atmosphere at the school has made a significant difference in our son's attitude towards learning. We couldn't be happier with our choice, and we highly recommend Sunshine Preschool to other parents.

For the last year, our daughter was having a great time here. Teachers here are caring and loving, Ms Jenny brought kids gift even during her vacation, my daughter told me she likes all the teachers there. They offer toast and cereals for breakfast, fruits, milk, and other snacks. Now my daughter is transferring to another school, we will miss Sunshine and will definitely recommend it to our friends!

This is a bilingual daycare/pre-school on a fenced-off portion of the Vinci Park Elementary campus. Hours of operation are from 8:30 am to 6:00 pm. Other campuses include Emerald and Ruskins. The classroom has two sections shared by three separate classes - Banana, Apple, and Orange classes (corresponding with ages). The classroom are heated and air-conditioned, has two clean bathrooms, and a large size yard with plenty of outdoor toys. The school is structured and well-organized, with at least two teachers for each class with a maximum of 18 children for each class. One teacher focuses on English while the other focuses on Mandarin Chinese. A typical day includes exercise, breakfast, circle time (instruction), play time, tv instruction, lunch, nap time, afternoon circle time, snack time, and free play. There are three high-quality performances each school year during Halloween, Chinese New Years, and Mothers Day. There is one field trip per school year and three organized activities such as Easter egg hunt, Christmas party, and Turkey Trot. Lifetouch photographer visits twice a year. All breakfast, hot lunch, drinks and snacks are included in the tuition. They dont ask for fund raisers or donations except for facial tissue and easter eggs. What I like about this school is it's structured like a real school. You won't find kids unattended and wasting their day away. This is because they have a strong director in Ms. Lucy, and a very professional core of educators in Ms. Jenny, Lei, Summer, Ting-Ting, Marlene, and many others. They demonstrate passion for their work, really connect with children, and display great attitudes daily. Children loves them and often returns for visits many years into elementary school. Furthermore, they pay attention to detail; they make sure children are taken care of and knows exactly what they ate, when they went to restroom, and provide a personal report to patents at the end of the day. Lastly, children learn to interact with many other kids while supervised. Topics taught include alphabets, math, science, chinese, ettiquete, art, holidays, chinese traditions, cooking, phonics, sight words, word families, history, dance, yoga, and much more. They grow plants, have live silk worms, and hands-on science demonstrations. Children will bring piles of homework, art projects, and artwork home daily. You are free to visit and observe your child any time. Overall, this is a well-organized and safe environment where there are caring teachers who expose the students to a wide range of education topics and physical performances. I highly recommend this school.
