They treat the kids with so much patience and kindness while still giving them the freedom to play, explore, and just be kids. One of the things I love most about Sunshine House is that they embrace the playful side of childhood while teaching independence, communication, and important social skills. They encourage the kids to try things on their own, express themselves, build confidence, and learn how to interact with others. The children there are genuinely so sweet and kind--and I don't think that happens by accident. The teachers work with them every single day to develop the skills they'll need to be successful when they move on to elementary school, while still allowing their individual personalities to shine. If you're looking for a preschool where your child will be loved, encouraged to have fun, and given the space to grow into their own little person, I truly couldn't recommend Sunshine House more. After five years, it's definitely bittersweet for our family to be saying goodbye.

Absolutely Exceptional - More Than Just a School…read more Year after year, this Montessori school continues to amaze our family. It is rare to find a place that balances rigorous academic excellence with such a genuine focus on character development and respect. We have watched our youngest (now 4) blossom here over the last two years. The growth in his education level is nothing short of outstanding--he is learning concepts I wouldn't have expected at his age, yet he is doing it with joy and curiosity. But beyond the academics, what impresses me most is the school's commitment to constantly bringing in new activities and enhancing the learning environment. They never settle; they are always finding ways to be better. A few amazing days of the year for you and the family: All the Holidays - The school ensures we celebrate holidays from across all cultures and life. Fathers' Night: An amazing way to connect their children with their fathers. One of the best moments I look forward to every year. I Mother Tea Time: Another amazing experience for the children to spend some quality academic and fun time with their moms. This standard of excellence isn't limited to just one teacher; it is consistent across the board. Every staff member, at every level, cares deeply about these children. If you are looking for a place that will truly invest in your child's future, this is it. We couldn't be happier.

All of the teachers have a nurturing touch, make learning fun, and greet all the parents and kids one by one when they come for drop off or pick up. A big plus that has been great in integrating into the Sunshine House community is the monthly family breakfasts!

I usually don't take the time to write reviews, but this school deserves to be defended and…read morerecognized for the incredible work they do. Both of my children attended this school, and I can honestly say that I have watched them grow--not only academically, but socially, emotionally, and as little human beings. The foundation they received here has meant so much to our family. There are things being said about this facility that I simply cannot agree with based on my own experience as a parent. I can only speak from what I have personally seen, and what I have seen is dedicated teachers who care about children, work hard, and give so much of themselves every day. My little one struggled when he first started. Adjusting was not easy for him, but the teachers never gave up on him. They were patient, loving, and understanding. They helped him feel safe, helped him settle in, and helped him learn. That kind of impact goes far beyond a classroom. Those are memories and skills that stay with a child. By the time children move on to TK, they are prepared in so many ways. They know their letters and numbers, but more importantly, they have learned how to communicate, socialize, follow routines, show manners, and become more independent. Even simple things made a huge difference in our home. My children used to want to eat only in their high chairs or while I followed them around the house. This school taught them how to sit at the table, eat properly, follow routines, and be part of a group. Those may seem like small things to some people, but as a parent, I know how meaningful they are. I want to give a special thank you to Ms. Deb and every teacher who has poured their time, patience, energy, and heart into these children. You may not always realize how much parents notice, but we do. We see the long days. We see the patience. We see the effort. And we see the difference you make. People can write whatever they want, but my children's growth is something I have witnessed with my own eyes. That is my experience, and that is what I choose to speak about. I am truly sad to see wonderful teachers move on, even though I know they deserve every opportunity that comes their way. You have made a difference in my children's lives, and for that, I will always be grateful. To all the teachers and staff: Thank you. Especially Ms.Deb Your work matters. Your patience matters. Your love for these children matters. And you are appreciated more than you know. From our family and from so many grateful parents: We love you, we appreciate you, and we truly don't want you to go. Thank you for helping raise, teach, and guide our little ones during such an important part of their lives.

As parents, we enrolled our child at Celebration Center because of its Christian foundation and the…read morepromise of a school that partners with families in raising and educating children. The kindergarten year was great. 1st grade, however, well, lets just say, recent events have shown us that this school does not practice what it preaches. Without detailed communication or parental consent, Celebration brought in a guest speaker from Committing to 16 -- someone with no formal training in early childhood education -- to speak to a class of 6-year-olds. Even worse, the speaker contradicted her own organization's message ["Committing to 16 is designed to help prevent mental health issues that come with social media use in kids and teens by avoiding social media usage until 16..." ] by encouraging kids to stay on social media... at six years old! How is that in line with Christian values or healthy child development? C'mon Nurse Kelli - make it sound right. And that's just grazing the top layer of their presentation slides... there's more than social media. How about, vaping, sexual touching? Yeah, that. Even public schools have consents toward subjects spoken on that subject. We're raising our child in a very intentional and supervised way. No sleepovers. No random adults without us present. No unsupervised screen time -- ever. Every minute of his exposure to media is something we explain and walk him through. So, to find out that Celebration assumed all children were on the same path and delivered such content without consent? Completely unacceptable. When my wife addressed the issue in person, she was met with dismissive body language and zero accountability. From what I gathered, they didn't seem to think they did anything wrong -- or perhaps they just labeled us as "overprotective parents." Let me be clear: We may be the first to speak up, but we are not alone. Other parents we've talked to were equally outraged. To top it off, our child has mentioned they often watch YouTube in class. If that's what we're paying thousands a year for, we could have stayed home and done that ourselves -- for free. Celebration Center claims to partner with parents, but in our experience, they make major decisions without transparency and then stand by them without reflection. We no longer trust the school's judgment, and we certainly don't feel they prioritize the well-being or innocence of the children in their care. If you're a parent looking for a school that truly respects and collaborates with families, think twice before enrolling here. They might say the right things, but their actions tell a different story.

I cannot say enough positive things about this center. From day one Miss Carrie and her staff have…read moreworked hard to accommodate and work with our family and our family dynamics. I stopped by this center, after touring five other centers, with very little in the way of expectations. However, after a short tour was thrilled to have found this center. From that moment on everything has been smooth sailing. Of course there have been issues that have popped up (mostly on my part) but Carrie and her staff were there to help me figure it out and support me every step of the way. Carrie went out of her way to get to know me as well as my children; and this seemed to be the norm. She was very hands on when I saw here; in fact she often was not in her office because she was somewhere in the center being a hands on director; leading by showing not telling. You can tell her leadership management style works as many of the staff members I encountered seemed to be very happy to be working at the center. Speaking of these staff members - I had the dream team of members working with my twin 2.5 year old daughters! Miss Ana, Miss Coquitha and Miss Nicole were absolutely amazing! In fact, my girls often came home talking about the staff members more than they did other students! The staff members were always warm and friendly at drop off - and took time with me at pick up those first few weeks when I was getting my footing as a mom of daycare kiddos. It's hard leaving your children with someone; even if they are trained. These three ladies made that transition SO much easier for me. I work in the ECE field as well in a different dynamic; but I was always learning something new from Miss Ana or Miss Coquitha. Both teachers have their own strengths; but together they are a power team! I would ask questions or voice concerns and they were always right there to support me with ideas and suggestions. Now; the curriculum. I would have to admit I was slightly skeptical about it when we joined. It looked 'okay' but I knew my girls would learn through play no matter what - so at this age I was more concerned about their social skills and language development. Let me tell you - was I pleasantly surprised!! Not only did my girl's language and social skills jump - they sky rocketed!! They matured so quickly and were talking SO much more. They also were telling me all about their themes & curriculum based projects!! The themes are age appropriate and the activities are well thought out and planned. No need to wonder what your child does even if they don't tell you; there are pictures EVERYWHERE. I noticed one other person commented about the drop off experience in the morning in the common room. I'd like to clarify from my experience with this time period. First off - I would say that drop off at any daycare is hard for younger children; but I never saw "all the 2 year olds" crying. Were there some crying? Sure. But, the staff was right there giving hugs and reassuring them they'd be okay, have fun and see their parent later. Are there a lot of kids in that room? Definitely; but I'm kind of glad my girls got that opportunity for a few reasons. 1) It gave them a time to be with older kids who modeled good behavior and also presented as great language models. 2) It gave them (and me) a glimpse into what it would be like when they moved out of the younger classrooms and into preschool. Numbers go up the older your child gets due to the more independence they build. It's a natural progression and this KinderCare fosters independence! Finally; this room is fully staffed for the ratios. There are plenty of teachers for the amount of students in there. This is not their 'learning' focused part of the day - this is when the kids are just getting adjusted from being at home to being in school; the demands on them are less. It's more about independent play and peer interactions. I could go on, and on and on about how much our experience at the Brentwood KinderCare meant to my girls and myself; but these are the most important positives for me. The staff was caring, got to know my kids and their needs, communicated with me effectively and the school always felt welcoming and warm. There were times I stopped in unannounced or late/early - and nothing was ever different - just the same great care I saw when I dropped off/picked up every day. I loved this center and wish I could've taken the entire staff with me when we moved!!

My son is being exposed to a wide variety of learning opportunities in a developmentally appropriate classroom setting. He understands what it means to go to school, and that school is where we go to learn (as opposed to nap and all other things daycare related ). He is learning how to follow instructions, how to follow a schedule, how to sit on the rug, and how to interact with his peers. From a teacher perspective, Miss Shanon is phenomenal. She is organized, professional, loving, knowledgeable, calm, approachable, the list goes on. She uses the open court curriculum, and I am impressed with how much my son knows. He is a young 3 year old, and knows his letters and sounds. He has excellent number sense. Every week, he is engaged in meaningful crafts, writing activities, and hands on activities. He sings songs and retells stories. I am always impressed with how much he is learning, and how happy he is. Miss Shanon organizes field trips and other fun events for the kids. Kids corner has far exceeded our expectations, and we look forward to many more experiences.

I really didn't feel a warm and comfortable welcome the first day that I dropped my toddler off. As for the Pre K class there was lots of stimulation and structure for PreK students. However, as time went on I would have a hard time feeling that all of the students needs were being met , especially mine. I was told my toddler was unfit for care for biting at 16 months old. This is something majority of 1 year olds do at their age. Age appropriate. Not that I condone it or that I think that it's ok , but at this age it's a challenge when your toddler doesn't not know how to quite communicate yet or express emotions. Also, during the first 5 years, young children are learning how to identify and respond to strong emotions, play and get along with other children, and respond to adults. Young children need adults who feel prepared to teach and handle these important social and emotional skills. They also need adults who can respond to and help prevent challenging behavior. Along with proper knowledge and communication to reassure parents about age appropriate behaviors. There seemed to be a lack of diligence to really take care and teach these children who are coming into the school. Every family / child is different so it's all situational , this so happens to be mine. Things seemed to be very loosely ran, a high turnover of teachers I noticed . It would be hard for me to pick out the lead teacher in the classroom. In the end it seems like a money pit but do your own in person observing and research. I wish it would've worked out but I highly recommended doing a couple sit ins before you start giving them your money. I personally didn't find it professional the way Geetha and Katherine went about the discipline and communication of biting for a 1 yr. old, Geetha said "people are paying good money here and their child shouldn't be bitten". Understandable, but is that how we're going to communicate that ?! I suggested maybe that there were too many toddlers for the ratio of teachers. I didn't get too much reassurance there . Now that my toddler is at a new daycare center , they are aware that he is at a stage of "biting", and they are very much keeping an extra eye on him . I've felt more comfortable because the way that the teachers engage with the toddlers here is much more different than Goddard. I have also been reassured that biting is "age appropriate" and that's why they have put extra help in the toddler class to keep an extra eye on these little kiddos. I'm thankful for that . It's also a bigger space for toddlers than Goddard and I was also reassured that they have added extra toys and such so the toddlers have more of a variety of things to play with and explore , so that they are not easily fighting over a toy or such. Like I said do your due diligence of research and maybe a few sit ins at Goddard if possible before you choose and spend.

The school is always VERY clean, decorated so nicely with kids artwork and so cute for holidays, and they have a sweet chicken that loves the kids! All of the staff is so sweet, patient, and understanding. My son had a hard time adjusting to not being home with me all day and was later diagnosed with autism and they never once made him feel less than. Instead, they were able to pick up on his needs like needing his schedule to stay the same, how to talk to him when he's doing something he shouldn't without him freaking out, and helped in his potty training journey. He is now almost 5 and aging out soon but I couldn't be more grateful for everything they have done for him.
