Program Philosophy: As early childhood educators we are responsible for providing positive learning experiences. We strive to show patience, respect and care for each child and adult we come into contact with. CHildren have the right to have their needs met and receive propoer education while in the care of caregivers. We are on Paths to Quality Level 2 and are always striving to advance to the next level of quality.

Tell us about your program: At Sunny Smiles Childcare, age appropriate activities are scheduled with flexibility to respond to the needs of individual child and day. We will offer times for outside play, stories, and instructional learning activities. We will provide your child with tender loving care, understanding, patience and guidance in a family setting. Free play is an important part of a child’s early years. It is here that they learn social skills that will be needed for the rest of their lives.
