Me encanta este Daycare no tengo cómo agradecer todo lo q hacen por mi hijo q comenzó con 4 meses y hasta el día d hoy mi hijo sabe muchísimo y gracias a ellos, si tuviera q volver a elegir un Daycare sería este ,porque es demasiado bueno tienen mucha empatía con los niños y sé q mi hijo está bien y seguro muchas gracias por tanto.
Katherine RuizJun 6, 2025Very disappointed with that place and owner. They show no empathy for my 3 years old daughter that recently have been diagnosed with autism. They just treated her as burden, and when she got tired of her, after 2 years going there, she just told me that my daughter can not continue coming, she didn't gave us the opportunity to find another daycare. We thought that their caring toward my daughter was sincere. For the last few months my little girl showed no desire to go there, she even cried when was dropped off, thing that she never did. We feel also sad because who knows how many times they made my daughter feel rejected.
Mari Tere AlvarezNov 21, 2024Estoy agradecida con Sunshine by the Bay Daycare. Han sido muy amables y atentos con nosotros. Mi bebé ama ir todos los días a la guardería y yo trabajo tranquila sabiendo que cuidan bien de él. Lo súper recomiendo con las demás familias!!
Yaneth MatiasJul 13, 2024I started at Sunshine by the bay in January. The moment I spoke with Ms Diana she was and still is very warm and loving person. After my children started there they fell in love with not just her but everyone there. It’s a family setting everyone is just warm and loving the children come home happy. She is not just the care giver while I am at work but she treats them as her own. I would and will recommend anyone to Sunshine by the bay daycare I promise you your child or children will be WELL Cared for and LOVED. They come home with projects that they do and yea she cooks great healthy meals for them. You sure don’t get this kind of love and care in most of these kinds of settings. Thank you Ms Diana and also your staff. Love you guys!!
Nad DwyieMay 21, 2024My 4 year old daughter has been going to Sunshine by the Bay Daycare since she was 2 years old. It was very hard to trust someone with our little one for the first time but Mrs Diana understood our concern, and always made sure that we felt at ease leaving our daughter, she always communicates with us throughout the day and made us felt like if our daughter was staying with a family member. Everyone is friendly, nurturing, caring and loving. My daughter love spending time with the other children and she enjoys the different activities throughout the day. I feel extremely comfortable leaving my daughter at Sunshine by the Bay Daycare and highly recommend this daycare!
Robert S.Apr 24, 2024I highly recommend Sunshine by the Bay daycare to all families. This is the first day care my daughter attended and she loved it instantly! She runs right in the door every time excited to play and learn. My daughter is so happy with all her new friends and is very loved by all the staff. She is learning so much in both English and Spanish! Ms. Diana gives me such peace of mind that my daughter is well taken care of while I am working. She communicates well and keeps in contact with me throughout the day with updates and pictures. I can’t thank Sunshine by the Bay and their staff enough!!
