The primary goal of Sunshine Nursery School is to provide a Christian setting that will promote the spiritual, physical, intellectual, social and emotional development of each child, while at the same time giving consideration to each child's individual growth rate.
Our philosophy is based upon the Biblical belief that each child is a unique and special person created by God.
When children acknowledge their value as an individual to God, themselves and their community, they have laid the foundation upon which all learning can take place.
