I absolutely love this daycare. My son has attended this Sunshine House for about two and a half years. This is actually the second center my child has been in, and I can promise that I wouldn't have him anywhere else.
My son has just exponentially grown in an educational and social sense, since attending the Sunshine House. They have special lesson plans for each class and they make it fun. (I can never get my son to WANT to learn with me, but he loves it there!) For example, the 'three's' classroom may have a weekly lesson of counting with your fingers to 5 (the next week it might be 10. They also have a color of the week, book of the week/month, and a broad lesson plan for the month. (ex: April: April showers bring May flowers. They have books, songs, crafts about rain, spring, etc.)
What I love most about the center is that they don't force your child to do anything. They have set times and schedules but they are a military academy like a lot of daycares can be. My child was in one like that...it just make him cranky and miserable. At the Sunshine House, they show the classroom the art project of the day, and if they don't want to participate, they don't have to. The teacher will just direct them to another project/game that equally emphasizes the lesson. I love that because they get to express their creativity how they want, which is important. At this age, they need that opportunity to be creative. They get plenty of opportunity throughout the day to express their creativity with the option to paint, color, draw, use puzzles, build with blocks, etc.
The teachers are all AMAZING as is the director Becca. Every single teacher knows my child's name. Even those that have not taught him yet. They really take the time to show these kids how to share, be equal, treat others, use their manners, and use good hygiene. You can see that they love all their kids, from the silly kids to the hardheaded kids. They love them all and would do anything to make sure they become the best little people possible. They don't just put children in timeout when they misbehave (hitting, throwing, not listening) but they sit down with them, explain to them what they did wrong and why it isn't okay. I think that is sooooo important with children. They need that 'sit-down' and they appreciate it.
Obviously, I highly recommend this place. I love all the teachers there. The director is the sweetest, funniest woman you will ever meet. She loves the children as much as the children. She checks on all the kids and teachers, even spends time with them. She was previously a teacher for several years, which is awesome, and have been a director for quite awhile. You can tell she has a lot of experience. The same goes for the teachers! They are some of the most dedicated folks with a great passion for not only their kids, but for all the kids in the center.
Do yourself (and your child) a favor and check them out! They are the one with the pretty picket fence! 🙂
