School Motto: Truth and Honor
School Mascot: Wild Boars

I built the Happy Sunshine Kids Infant Center and Pre-School for my 2 youngest children as I was disappointed in the quality of care in the area. I wanted a beautiful, clean and classy place for my children to learn and play with small ratios and excellent teachers. I wanted a nurturing environment but also that educated my children so they were not only fully prepared for Elementary School but advanced moving forward. We achieved this almost immediately. My background is in Theater Arts so I wanted to incorporate dance, music, art, drama and sports into the regular week. There is so much to be gained from the Theater Arts and Sports. We are fortunate enough to have Whole Foods cater our Hot Lunch Program for only $4.50 a day! We also offer Extra Curricular classes at an extra cost for parents who want their children to specialize or learn more in a particular area or subject. All lead teachers are fully qualified and experienced and all are 1st aid and CPR qualified. We are open year round offering fun and learning opportunities for all ages of little ones and gently push them to advance in every possible way. Happy Sunshine Kids Shine, They have a Bright Future! :-)
