Director's Comments
Question to director: Do you have any additional thoughts on what parents should consider when looking at your school? Is there any advice that you would like to provide to prospective parents?
The Sunshine School provides a creative educational experience with a "hands on" approach to learning. We have been meeting academic, social and developmental standards to prepare young children for success since 1974. We are currently servicing the second generation of several families. Three teachers, including the director, have more than 20 years experience teaching young children.

Today's “Preschool’s Out” Activity
Trace around your child's foot, with shoe on, on a piece of white construction paper or card stock. Have child cut out the shoe print and add a spooky face. Glue it to a popsicle stick and you have a ghost stick puppet!
