Sunshine Learning Center

DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE! I took my daughter there and her teacher mistreated her horribly. Other kids hit my daughter and her teacher does nothing about it. I’ve complained numerous times to corporate and their director, but there was no resolution. I pulled her out of the daycare. By the way they have roaches!

I hope this review can help another parent out, as there were no recent reviews when I signed my daughter up here. I wanted to love this learning center, but it just wasn’t a good fit for my family. I enrolled my daughter here at 2 months old, and she is 3 months and I have already pulled her out. So, for starters I didn’t get to meet her teacher/teachers as I was unable to view the daycare during business hours due to Covid precautions which I totally get-So I got a 10min look around if that. I felt uncomfortable not having a rapport with my daughter’s teachers. When I wrote on the app to check on her, I would sometimes have to call to see if everything is okay because hours would pass with no response. I am a working parent, a message is sometimes a lot easier than me stepping outside of work to call and check on my daughter, which would send me into a slight panic worrying if everything was okay. The director is okay, a little in-personable to me, Ms. Michelle has to be the best asset to this organization. Extremely personable and understanding. They do not allow strollers because of Covid which makes no sense to me, and is such an inconvenience to working parents. Literally they hand me my infant through the door while I struggle to get her carrier on in 100 degree weather. So in-personable. They also keep the center very cold, my daughter got sick there two times with a cold. I packed a sweater her last week and asked that it be put on everyday, I received a photo of her inside without it so clearly my request was disregarded. All in all, I wouldn’t recommend this learning center for an infant. I worried about my daughter more than I didn’t while she was here. For $535 a week the service just didn’t cut it for me.

Each morning when I drop off my child I know he is safe and will be supported throughout the day. The management team Mr. Jesus, Ms. Samantha, and Ms. Elizabeth are kind and inviting. Some teachers are warm and firm. And, even the maintenance staff has a repertoire with students. This daycare has nailed the "Fun Factor" -there is always a party, gift, or activity for children. They are also community oriented-they hold food drives throughout the year. My only wish is that the curriculum would be more exploratory. For example, if studying spiders, observing a real spider in captivity would be an example of exploratory learning. It also seems like they are closed at least a day a month-I guess the staff needs a break too. Overall, this is a great, affordable, supportive learning center. No need to drop a crazy amount of money for great care. Great daycare!

It'll be 1 year this week and we love Sunshine. The staff knows all the kids' names. Each month Sunshine has special activity for the kids and involve the families as much as possible. We were anxious about placing our babe in daycare but Sunshine made the transition easy and our babe is growing and learning. They incorporate developmental milestones as the kid moves up through the classes such as no pacifiers, drinking in sippy cups and eventually regular cups, etc. There are some inconsistencies with the "rules" sick kids, lateness, etc vs the handbook they give you but the staff is willing to talk it out and work with you. The hours are flexible and the price is fair for the quality of care. If my kid gets a bump or a small scratch I'm always notified with a call and an Incident Report. I also really like the daily and/or weekly status reports the teachers write up for my kid specifically.

My son had been at Brightside academy since he was 8 mons. As I was elevating in my academic career I decided to move him closer and I choose Sunshine learning center because I resembled everything Brightside had. One day I want to pick up my son and recognized his arm in one position he had confirmed by a doctor a dislocated elbow. According to the surveillance camera my son was crying one of the teachers was holding his arm the one dislocated he turned and dropped to the floor. She waited for him to get up then walked him over to circle time. My child was only 2; I was never notified and didn’t pick him up till 5 that evening. I wasn't hurt that it happened, with young children it happens often, but that I wasn't notified immediately which could have left my child permanently damaged if not attended to in a period of time. Another thing that troubled me was I recently want back after pulling my child out immediately and was denied and given attitude, Why when it was my child who got hurt than unattended to........Everything happens for a reason and I am glad they didn’t accept him because this is a situation I won’t forget. Do to their attitude regarding the situation I’m not sure what happened with the teacher. As I am sure nothing because there staff is more important than parents and children who supply them with business. He should have been left to cry it out or redirected with something he liked he was only 2 circle time is an activity that shouldn’t be demanded by 2 year olds. Thank you listening. It you against them if something happens to your kid.
