  • Giving this Daycare a 5 star! Staff are very friendly and very professional! Feels great to be able to leave my baby in good hands! Thank you girls for everything you do!

  • Such an excellent place. We get updated on everything our son does and we get many pictures of him which we are grateful for. When something is wrong we get notified right away such as him being sick or an accident. So thank you

  • I couldn’t be happier with this daycare! My 8-month-old just started a week ago, and as a mom, I was naturally nervous about leaving my baby for the first time. From day one, the staff made me feel completely comfortable and reassured. They are so patient, caring, and attentive. I love how they keep me updated throughout the day and truly take the time to understand my baby’s routine and needs. It’s clear that they genuinely care about the children and create a safe, loving, and clean environment. In just one week, I’ve already seen how happy and comfortable my baby is there, which means everything to me. I’m so grateful to have found a place I can trust with my little one. Highly recommend to any parent looking for quality childcare! 💛

  • When looking for a center that was close to home but also checked off all my boxes for a center this one put me at ease. I was reluctant at first because of mixed reviews but decided to tour the center myself.As an educator and also former preschool teacher myself I am not new to what a good daycare looks like. The staff welcomed me and my daughter the moment we came in. I was nervous because my daughter has so many allergies and really bad eczema. The teachers are attentive to both her allergies and eczema and helped her adjust to going to daycare. She is happy everyday and has learned so much!! Her vocabulary has expanded since starting at Sunshine Scholars and her social skills has improved. She looks forward to going to “school” every morning. Could not be happier with this center snd it’s amazing staff.

  • I love this daycare and everyone in it. My son is currently enrolled and has been here since he was 6 weeks. He took his first steps here which I am grateful for. He continues to learn and excel with the teachers here!
