sunshine arch OUR CLASSROOMS

Small class sizes, personalized care

We intentionally maintain smaller class sizes to ensure every child receives the attention, support and opportunities they need to learn and grow at their own pace.

That means teachers who notice when something’s different, who know which book your child asks for, and who can tell you about the day in specifics rather than generalities.

Kindergarten, children and hands with game in circle for development, growth and activity. Teacher,.

sunshine arch FAITH-INSPIRED VALUES

Everyone is welcome here

Our Christian foundation guides how we care for children, families and our community. Faith shows up as kindness, compassion, service and respect — not as a requirement.

Families do not need to share our faith background to feel welcomed and supported. We have families who are deeply religious, families who aren’t religious at all, and families somewhere in between.

Our commitment to every family

SonShine Learning Center does not exclude, deny benefits to or discriminate against any person on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation or age in admission to, participation in, or receipt of services under any of our programs and activities.

COME SEE US

Book a tour and meet the teachers who will know your child by name. We’d love to welcome your family in.
