Looking back one year later as a first-time mom, I wish I had known what to expect before enrolling our 10-month-old daughter at Sunshine. On her first day, we were told that babies who were not yet independent might not be the best fit. As parents dropping our baby off for the first time, we left feeling more judged than supported. We also noticed through the daycare app that she was often seated in a high chair for extended periods, which raised concerns for us. During her first week, we felt discouraged when there seemed to be little patience for the fact that our 10-month-old wasn't immediately able to nap on the same schedule as the older toddlers. We expected there to be an adjustment period. When she became sick during her first week--a common experience for many children starting daycare--we felt our concerns were dismissed and were told it was likely just the weather. We ultimately decided to move our daughter to another daycare, where she has thrived. She is now 2 years old, loves going to school, and has a wonderful relationship with her teachers. That experience showed us how important a patient and supportive environment is during those early transitions. I'm sharing our experience because I know how vulnerable first-time parents can feel. Every family's experience may be different, but Sunshine was not the right fit for ours. read more

We love Sunshine Daycare! When I found out I was going back to work earlier than expected I had so many emotions. We needed a place we could feel safe and trust as I navigated working full time with an infant. Miss Shohreh and her staff exceeded our expectations. My son has learned how to play with others and continues to hit his milestones, even learning some sign language. They celebrate birthdays and holidays and even have parties for all the parents and kids to meet. It's a real community! I highly recommend read more

As a licensed pediatric healthcare worker who has previously worked at sunshine day care, I can assure you that Shohreh provides the children with a variety of structured, age-appropriate enrichment activities to support their development. Shohreh maintains timely communication with all parents and staff through an app, giving parents a thorough breakdown of every child's routine. The app Shohreh uses conveniently allows for daily communication, check-ins throughout the day, and safe pick-ups and drop-offs. The daycare is regularly meticulously sanitized and Shohreh's organization of the day care allows each child their own personalized space for belongings. This day care is a lovely space and I would highly recommend it for parents needing childcare. Shohreh truly cares about the children and works closely with the families to understand their priorities. read more

I'm very lucky to have found Sunshine Daycare. Ms. Shohreh and her staff are amazing. I can tell all the kids love them! My son gets so excited when I drop him off and that brings me so much comfort. They keep me updated throughout the day. They send me videos and pictures of all their activities. My son has a delay in speech and now he's counting and using words. read more

Enrolling our son in Sunshine Daycare has truly been a blessing. Shohreh and her team are super professional, compassionate, hard workers -- they seriously love the kids. The daycare provides a cool app, allowing us to stay connected through uploaded pictures and videos throughout the day (the only phone notifications that I look forward to!) Shohreh and her team always go the extra mile, setting up wonderful activities for birthdays and holidays. The kids are like a little family, and our son is always repeating his daycare buddies' names lol. We're beyond thankful and HIGHLY recommend Sunshine Daycare. read more

Found this daycare online when we were desperately in need of one for my then 18month old. Mrs. Shohreh gave us a tour of the place and we fell in love. There is a program for every day, the place is super clean and organized. In the last 6 months, my son has become a lot more social, talks more and has learned so many things like colors, animals, shapes and more. Cannot recommend this place enough. Also, I love that we bring our own food because I like to feed my son healthy food. But even with this Mrs. Shohreh always surprises the kids with fruits or snacks that she provides. Last week they made hotdogs for everyone and the week before the kids went on a field trip to the nearby park and had a blast. Also, the daycare uses the Procare app. Which is amazing, they send pictures and videos throughout the day and every activity is documented. So you know when your kid sleeps, eats, changes diapers etc. read more

Registered my 18 month old Covid baby at this daycare. Naturally my son had some stranger/separation anxiety, but Shoreh and her staff were so uncaring and cold towards him. They actually sent me unsettling videos of him crying while he was looking around for any adult attention, the staff literally walking away from him while recording, trying to make a point that he was "needy". As a new parent going back to work, that's not something you want to see in the middle of the day. Shoreh has "learning time" where infants and toddlers are expected to sit and pay attention through lessons. She told me that my son was disrupting class and (her exact words) "look at the other kids, how quietly they sit" My son did not even last 2 full days here. The third/last day, she called me saying I should come pick him up while telling her staff to "pack up his stuff" Was told that "he is not ready for the daycare environment" Shoreh seems to run this daycare with a business attitude where children are expected to not cry or give anyone a hard time during the initial transition. She was not understanding or reassuring at all. I would give 0 stars if possible. After this terrible experience, I would never recommend this place. I would also advise parents to look at the prior code violations (public information) this place has had. read more

Our son loves Sunshine Day care and we are so grateful to have found Ms Shoreh's daycare. Our son Leo loves going to daycare and playing with his friends and all the extra activities that the kids do at Sunshine Daycare. He loves Mr. Ashton's music class on Wednesdays and another aspect we as parents love is the procare app so we always are updated throughout the day on how he is doing. This daycare also gets the kids ready for kindergarten, and Ms Shoreh does a great job at teaching the kids new topics each and every day. Having a solid daycare like this has made my life so much more easier and we are excited to have another child and not having to worry about what we will do for childcare. read more

I started both my kids at Sunshine when they were 6 months old. Both of course cried a lot at the beginning, but Shohreh and her team worked with them during the transition period and are doing great now. One of the things I love is they have a dedicated space to run the daycare at the back of their house. I visited some in home daycares and really didn't care for having the daycare run inside of the house where the owners lived. Shohreh keeps it super clean, vacuums daily, shoes kept outside. So lucky to have Shohreh and her team looking after my little ones. I know they will be safe and cared for when I'm away at work. read more

We love Sunshine Daycare and Ms. Shoreh for the love and care she gives our 1 year old. This baby is definitely a handful, but Ms. Shoreh has been amazing with her communication and is always extremely transparent with us with progress updates, videos, and notes about how our child is doing. If you want a safe, purpose built and well maintained daycare Sunshine Daycare is the perfect place for your little ones. read more

I love this daycare! My son has been here a couple months, and he has learned so much and gotten so much more intelligent since being here! She treats you and your child like family. My son is so relaxed and reaches for her every day when I drop him off, which has been such a relief going back to work since I've had him. Highly recommend. read more

Sunshine Day Care is a blessing for parents, especially new parents. Words can not express how grateful my wife and I are to have found this amazing place. My wife and I visited at least 11 different day cares before falling in love with Sunshine. It only took 45 minutes with Shohreh for my wife to say "this is the place for our Zeliana". Shohreh is a professional in every sense of the word. She keeps the day care in pristine condition at all times (very clean), cleans babies with great frequency, plays and engages with the children, refrains from television, teaches them how to communicate (such as pointing to their month when hungry), and has the children nap together like clock work. Another cool thing is that Shohreh wears her scrubs almost everyday, which is a testament to her dedication to her craft. Our daughter Zeliana recently started pre school and her first week was phenomenal due to the many things she learned from Shohreh at Sunshine. The preschool is amazed as to how well our daughter listens to direction,communicates, and plays with other kids her age. That is all thanks to Shohreh. We love Sunshine Day Care so much that we will enroll our newest bundle of joy there in just a few months. read more

I just read the review from June 24 about the child who was asked to leave after 1 week and I came here to say that this was my same experience! My daughter was dismissed from the daycare because she was not independent enough to be in a daycare setting . She was repeatedly compared to children who did not cry as much and on our last day we were advised that she was not ready for daycare at this time. However, when we took her to a new daycare she had no issues adjusting and has been joyful and happy during pickup, drop off, and all update pictures. This was not our experience with Shoreh and her staff. Our daughter was constantly miserable and did not look happy in the majority of the pictures or videos we saw. At one point we received a video of her falling asleep in a crib standing up as proof that she was disruptive to the class environment right before she was let go. While I am sure Shoreh and her staff are great providers for children who are comfortable going to daycare, from my experience they do not have the patience to handle children with separation anxiety. I would advise looking for a care provider who is more empathetic and can take time to help your child transition. read more

Shohreh and Sunshine Daycare have been amazing for our family. Our daughter has been there for a little over a year and she loves it. She's learned so much and has made some amazing friends. She started off in the infant class and is now in the toddler class where she gets to learn something new every day. The teachers are so kind and caring and take great care of our daughter. We know that Sunshine Daycare is like a 2nd home for our daughter and we would recommend it to anyone. We know she is safe when she's there and well cared for. They really treat you like family!!! read more

Thank you sunshine daycare!!! They have been a life saver since April 1, 2023! I was finally ready to transition into working full time again since my daughter was now 3 years old and fully potty trained! I got hired and within a week I was starting and freaking out because all the daycare options I was looking at were $1,400-$1,500 every month for the hours I would need her cared for. Then I found Ms. Shohreh and Sunshine Daycare! From the day we first visited the home based center on Friday, she started full time the following Monday! I was so anxious because I already knew it would take her a little while to not cry her heart out every morning I dropped her off but Ms. Shohreh was so welcoming and understood, the best part is she didn't make me feel guilty or embarrassed! Then there is the curriculum! They have a full day of learning activities and I am provided feedback on what activities my daughter does and does not engage in so I can work one on one with her at home! The team also uses the pro care app which is a GAME CHANGER. The staff update the app every time she Is signed in, eats, uses the restroom, participates in the learning activities, and there are daily photos and videos uploaded everyday!! I have such a peace of mind while working knowing my daughter is well cared for, learning, and having so much fun! My daughter LOVES her rainbow school! read more

My daughter started at Sunshine Daycare in August 2023 and it has been great! Shohreh and her team are fabulous! The daycare is safe, spacious, and very clean. The daily routine is very structured and includes learning and art activities, outside fun, as well as an optional weekly music class. They celebrated my daughters birthday and made her feel so special and all holidays are celebrated with fun activities. They all communicate very well and I love that we are kept up to date every day through an app where they upload pictures and videos, and inform us when she eats, naps, when she has her diaper changed, and when she gets picked up. I know my baby girl is safe, learning a ton, and having fun! Plus, it's affordable! =) read more

We love Shoreh, her family and her warm daycare. The best thing after having our first son was meeting Shoreh. She is very detail in every aspect of his health, nutrition, and development. Her facility is always spotless, and she is extremely communicative and responsive. She has helped our son reach all his milestones and have a ton of patience with him. Without a doubt, she's been a blessing for our new and growing family. It is clear that she loves Elias and all of the other babies as if they were her own. We couldn't be any happier knowing that Elias is where he wants to be while we are at work. read more

Shohreh is the best! She works with me as a new parent to take care of my son and also provides her professional tips and tricks to get him to feel his best. I was so distressed when I had to go back to work but knowing that Shohreh is taking care of my son while I'm at work puts my mind at ease. She frequently gives me updates on how he's doing and it is evident how relax and happy he is when we drop him off and pick him up. She supports any new milestone that we are tackling and also makes sure to help him with new growths/developments. We are so luck to have stumbled upon Sunshine Day Care and so grateful that she is helping raise our son. read more

It was difficult as a brand new mom to leave my baby to go back to work, but Shohreh and her bright, happy daycare made that transition so much easier. From the moment I stepped in the door I felt at ease - everything was immaculate (no shoes allowed indoors!) and there was soothing music playing and lots of age appropriate toys. One thing I love is that she is always willing to get down on the floor and play with the kids. She also often sends us photos and videos she takes during the day. I feel completely comfortable leaving my baby with Shohreh. She is a valuable member of our "village" and we are so grateful to have found her! read more

This review is not for their services, who knows they may be a good daycare facility. I am an expecting mother calling to get more information about their programming for a baby that will be due next year, and the woman who answered the phone was so off-putting. When asked, she would provide no information about the center because they are "all booked up." She did not even ask when I might be expecting to enroll my child. She did not offer the waitlist because it's apparently so full, they are not adding to it. She instead suggested I get more information about the facility on Facebook. I don't usually write reviews based on mere phone inquiries, but when trusting my child with someone else, it certainly won't be here. This was one of the most unprofessional interactions I've had; it gives me zero confidence in their ability to provide care for my newborn and in a way that makes me feel comfortable and welcome. read more

We are so grateful to have met Shohreh and that she watches our son Wesley each day. She does a wonderful job and take great care of our baby boy. We met Shohreh about six months ago and were very impressed with her small daycare. The facility is immaculately clean and tidy and Shohreh is a true professional with infant CPR training and certification. Our son is always excited when we drop him off and happy when we pick him up each day. Shohreh goes out of her way to help with our baby's custom meal plan and feeding schedule and she is great about making sure all the kids maintain a regular sleep pattern. We love the care she gives our child and 100% intrust her with the care of our child. I would recommend her to any family. read more

My daughter has attended Sunshine Daycare for the past five months and we could not be happier. During that time she has overcome her initial fears to shine at daycare. As an only child, navigating isolation for over a year during the pandemic, it was only natural for my daughter to have a hard time adjusting to daycare again. She would initially cry and refuse to eat or even play with other children. Shohreh is such a knowledgeable professional. She said to me, "I am a mom too, and approach my job thinking about what I would like for my own children." This philosophy is what has made all the difference. Shohreh worked one on one with my daughter to comfort her and make her feel safe and secure. My daughter no longer cries, she enjoys her friends, and eats her food in great company. Shohreh has also worked with my daughter on her academics. We can credit Shohreh for my daughter learning to write her first and last name, as well as a few short sentences. She constantly comes home excited, sharing new things she has learned during science experiments, art, circle time, and even yoga. We are extremely grateful for the preparation that our daughter has received at Sunshine Daycare and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a daycare where there is a lot of heart. read more

Sunshin Day Care is the best place for infants and toddlers to grow up, play, and most importantly learn. Shohreh and her staff are friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and most importantly caring. Kids have activities planned throughout the day from reading books, working on learning alphabet/numbers/colors/shapes/etc, drawing, and group activities with so much fun playing with water, making bubbles, and even playing basketball. During this pandemic, Shohreh (business owner) and her staff have worked hard to make sure the kids are safe; they constantly cleaning the daycare, checking kids temperature, providing mask if parents need at the door and implementing policies to make sure our kids are safe. My daugther loves to go there every morning and she enjoys her day to the point she doesn't want to leave when I go to pick her up! She just turned two and she already counts till 15 without mistake in English and also till 10 in another language and that is because of Shohreh and her staff work with them whole day. I am very happy to have Shohreh and her staff in our life because they made our life much easier. read more

Shohreh is absolutely wonderful and my daughter is thriving in her care. She treats the children like her own family; she is warm and caring and involved in all aspects of their health and development. She texts pictures throughout the day and updates when there's any question about something my baby needs. Yet even with this amazing personal relationship she runs the facility with a level of professionalism I haven't seen even at the big daycare centers. The facility is immaculate and well-maintained with a dedicated space for the daycare separate from the main residence. She takes hygiene and safety very seriously; even the most germ-conscious parents would be impressed by the level of cleanliness here. There is always soothing and/or engaging music playing, there are established routines for naps and mealtimes, and the space is comfortable and homey. But my very favorite thing about Sunshine Day Care is how happy my daughter is there. Every day when I pick her up I can see her smiling and playing through the window before she sees me. She lights up when Shohreh talks to her and is always happy to go to her. This is the first daycare I've had experience with where I can honestly say I feel completely, unreservedly comfortable leaving my baby in their care. read more
