"Preschool education is important. It is the foundation of learning and the foundation of anything is very important. The Sonshine School program is designed to meet the developmental needs of young children (3-5 years). It provides experiences that enrich and enhance each child’s cognitive, language, social, emotional, physical and creative development. Within our daily schedule, each child has opportunities to create, explore the environment, learn problem solving and personal interaction skills and learn concepts through first-hand experiences. Children develop a positive self-concept through a balance of self- and teacher-directed activities. We strive to have a warm and inviting environment which is responsive to each child’s needs. We respect parents as the primary and most important provider of care and nurturing, and we believe parents and teachers are partners in children’s care and education.

What I want parents to know:
"My main goal is to prepare my students for kindergarten, academically and socially. I accomplish this through play-based centers in which children learn important pre-k skills, decision-making, independence and how to work with peers. Every day I work with my students individually on a specific skill. My classroom environment utilizes many of the routines and rules I used in my kindergarten classroom."

“The greatest privilege of teaching young children at Sonshine School is sharing with them the tremendous love of God, a God who knows their names and wants to be in relationship with them. It’s an added bonus to be able to do that while learning our letters, counting, singing, creating, exploring, and playing.”

What I want parents to know:
“I believe each child should be valued and respected as an individual. I have learned the benefits and can see the results of children learning through play in my classroom; therefore, children feel comfortable making choices and pursing their own ideas. I have a creative environment where children learn academic and social skills through hands on activities. My focus is to provide children with a quality learning program in an atmosphere that is safe and loving so each child has a sense of a second family environment.”
