Our Story
Founded in 2011, Sunshine Kids Daycare began with a simple yet powerful vision: to create a second home where children could thrive, learn, and grow in a safe, nurturing environment. As a parent myself, I understood the anxiety and concerns that come with leaving your most precious treasure in someone else's care.
What started as a small home-based daycare has grown into a fully licensed, state-accredited facility serving over 150 families in our community. Our success comes from never losing sight of what matters most - treating every child as if they were our own.
We believe that the early years are the most crucial in a child's development. That's why we've dedicated ourselves to creating an environment where children feel loved, secure, and excited to learn. Every decision we make, from hiring staff to designing our curriculum, is guided by one question: "Is this what's best for the children?"
Our Mission
To provide exceptional childcare services that support each child's physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development while giving parents the confidence and peace of mind they deserve.
