I have worked at other facilities and I really enjoy working here the most with the kids. I find that this place offers a lot and is very well structured. The owners are also very easy going and make sure rules are being followed. the lead teachers are Montessori certified. As an assistant, even I am learning alot! Great place that offers consistency to your child. Give it a chance. I see the students advancing at a faster rate compared to the other schools I've worked at.

My child was a kindergartner at Sunnybrook. I could not believe how much she learned in a year, and not only that, the social life and school events are so reach and well thought off that it opened up my child's sites that I have never seen before. All I can say, great school, great program, great staff. Highly recommend this school.
