Stay away from the new ownership-Cadence Education. They eat your money and the follow-up is…read morepathetic to put it mildly. We have been part of the Cedar St Kids Club and AEE system for last 6 years, which was managed supremely by the original owners. The new ownership lacks the responsibility and basic expectations when it comes to childcare business. They charged me by error which they accepted, but I am yet to receive a refund after 4 months. I keep calling and they say it will be taken care of soon, so hasn't happened yet. It is very irresponsible from Cadence to eat up money that way.

Each has left well prepared for kindergarten academically, socially and emotionally. The teaching staff is experienced and knowledgeable of the growing demands that face our little ones. Besides all that "school" stuff, there is also the wonderful Christian based stories and lessons that I wanted my boys to hear about early. I recommend touring the facility. There is a full gym for the kids to play in during the winter! They can run and jump and get all the wiggles out during the cold months. Go and see it. My boys and I had a great experience.

My son went there back in 2011. He is still recovering from that experience emotionally and it took…read moreyears to recover academically. He was held in a room by teachers and interrogated after playing a game of cops and robbers on the playground with friends. They kept asking him " is there something going on at home"? Over and over and over . They wouldn't let him leave the room for over an hour. He eventually made something up to get out of there . They called DCF on us .( which was screened out since it was made up) He was 6 years old. They were all about the money. I will never forgive them for the damage they did to my son. If you want to deal with pompous staff in the office and wake up one morning to have DCF called on you for no reason , then this is the place for you!

The preschool does offer weekly live guitarist who sings with the kids, also to its credit it has a talented Spanish teacher who makes this language interesting. Kind teachers. Program is planned & executed, BUT, parents don't get daily updates on activities, only weekly. Only ONE teacher per class. For most activities they combine the classes which creates chaos. Last year I saw one teacher dealing with 9 boys ages 4,5. The were constantly combined with my son's class 3,4 yr olds. During break times none effective or lacking adult supervision. My child was pushed down the stairs TWICE!! And they didn't even know! My then 3 year old was hit a few times in school & only once did they report it, AFTER, I started contacting the school with my concerns. My child loved his friends & teacher but was terrified of two older kids who would be combined at activity time. The teachers are GOOD, but supervision between class & at break time is lacking. Staff chatting instead of being present in the moment & comments like " boys will be boys" in response to your concerns.

They regularly kept parents posted of all things going on, and were very responsive if there was ever any concerns. I couldn't imagine trying to keep so many little ones occupied, learning, and happy, but they did everyday! Our kids still look at their Sunshine memory books all the time and loved their time there. All of our neighbors put their kids through and had very positive experiences as well, as all of our kids were more than ready for kindergarten when that started! I'd give Sunshine and their talented staff more stars if I could.
