My son has been attending Sonshine since he was a baby. First at the Early Learning Center and now at the elementary school. He is now an energetic 2nd grader, and this school has been amazing for him. The teachers really understand that not all children learn the same way and are great at working with each child. This has truly felt like a family to us over the years.

My daughter has been attending this school for 2 years. At that time, we developed a close relationship with not only her teacher but also many staff members. I can see they truly care about her and are excited to watch her grow, learn, and succeed. The small class sizes offer a lot more one on one with the teacher and personal development to meet her individual needs. Since this is a private school, families can contribute, donate, and participate in more creative ways that a standard public school would not allow. I am proud to see my daughter's relationship with our Lord grow, and that is all thanks to Sonshine.

Three of my kids attend Sonshine, and they love it. The small classroom sizes and family feel are a big plus for us. We love all the teachers and staff. Another great perk is the Barton tutoring, which has been very helpful. Christ-centered education, before-and-after school care, and a loving environment are why we have been with Sonshine since 2021.
