Programs

Infants

Our infant area provides the highest quality care in an environment that is designed with the parent and child in mind. While in our care, the children are stimulated through music, exercise, outdoor blanket time, facial and verbal mimicking as well as lots of hugs and tickles.

Toddlers

At this age, children are meeting new challenges as fast as they come. Crawling, walking and eventually running are levels they accomplish in what seems like a blink of an eye. Children learn best if they are in a stimulating environment. Music, stories, outdoor play, and learning simplicities envelop much of the day. Our caregivers are dedicated in helping each child develop these skills through a trusting and loving relationship. A parental daily report is given to update each family on meal times, nap times, toilet training and all activities accomplished each day.

Preschoolers

Little Sunshines offers more than just a stimulating learning environment - it's an inspiring, nurturing space where each child is encouraged to explore their interests at their own development level. Our lesson plans focus not only on the academic skills they need, but also on building creativity and critical thinking. With the guidance of our highly-skilled caregivers, children are encouraged to develop skills through activities such as music, stories, outdoor play, and more. At Little Sunshines, we also keep parents informed with daily reports on meals, naps, toilet training, and all the activities their children have achieved in a day.
