Parent Reviews
Amazing. This has been my only daycare experience and I have no complaints. Great program and my kid loves it. I like that it’s focused on school readiness and family engagement!
My son has been enrolled with Ray of Sunshine Childcare center just a little over a year now. Within that year I have seen tremendous growth in his social skills, emotional expressions and his self confidence. With the combined work of home and the center he has hit and surpassed a lot of his age milestones. I believe he will be readily prepared for the next school phase when he enters the school system. I’m truly blessed, grateful and thankful for All the staff at Ray of Sunshine!
My child has been enrolled since he turned one years old , he’ll be four next year . He absolutely loves his school! He talks about his school , and teachers all of the time! Miss Ray is so respectful and has wonderful communication she genuinely cares about all the children! The children love her children! It’s a big family at the day care and she involves everyone , and the community. I would recommend her daycare forever and always!
Wonderful place they really take the time to attend and care for your child
My child’s experience at Rays of Sunshine was an amazing one! She was there for almost 4 years and the staff was always very patient, caring, and thoughtful! They use the Dojo app which allows you to see your child’s awesome moments throughout the day which made me as a parent feel good knowing that my babygirl was enjoying her day!🤍
This is a great center for your kids, both my 10yr old and 4yr old have been coming for about 2 years and they love it. The staff are always nice and supportive. They follow a daily routine which helps prepare my youngest for kindergarten. And Mrs. Ray is very communicative, kind, caring and will help with anything you might need to feel supported while your children are in her daycare. Definitely 5/5 stars.
Ray's of sunshine has been amazing for my 2 year old daughter and our family. They are caring, nurturing and understanding of her and our family's needs. They do whatever they can to make her comfortable after drop off. They have a great little curriculum for the toddlers as well that introduces them to many different areas of learning. They recently had classroom caterpillars they they released as butterflies. They had a dinosaur week. They offer a lot of sensory learning. It's just an amazing little daycare! We are extremely grateful to of found them!
As my daughter gets ready to start big girl school, I just want to say how incredibly grateful we are for everyone at this daycare. She started here when she was just 2 years old, and now she’s almost 5. It’s been amazing watching her grow, learn, and gain so much confidence over the past few years. They were so patient and supportive during potty training, and the teachers, along with the owner, Ray, genuinely care about every child. You can tell this isn’t just a job to them—they truly love what they do. My daughter has had so many wonderful experiences here, from creative crafts and fun daily activities to exciting field trips. They also do an amazing job bringing families together with monthly family events, which have created so many special memories. One thing I really appreciate is how they make parents feel valued too. They always acknowledge and celebrate us with thoughtful Mother’s Day and Father’s Day appreciation events, which is such a meaningful touch. This daycare has been like a second home for my daughter, and it gives me so much peace knowing she was loved and cared for every single day. As we get ready to say goodbye and send her off to kindergarten, we’re leaving with so many wonderful memories. Thank you, Ray, and all of the amazing teachers, for everything you’ve done for our family. I couldn’t recommend this daycare more! ❤️
I have been with Ray's of Sunshine since it's beginning, when my son was 4 months old and it has been the best experience! I really wanted a place where my son would be cared for like he is their own and Ray's really does this! You feel like everyone there really knows your child and cares about them. They are always open to your feedback and working with you on any concerns you have and I never had to worry about my son's care. I would highly recommend Ray's of Sunshine to anyone looking for a small, caring, home like feel center for their child!
This school is amazing! Such a blessing to have and my children love it. I think the program, staff and director are amazing. It shows how much they care and they offer so much support to the emotional, learning and age appropriate developmental learning levels of each child!
Great my son is happy having a great time with his teachers and all his friends he's making. Nice and structured, clean and everyone is supper friendly
Ray’s of sunshine is so personable, yet very professional. I know every provider that is there, loves and cares about every child that attends. The projects, programs and games, make a huge difference in my son’s growth. I really appreciate all that they do.
Ray’s of Sunshine was an absolute delight! It was my daughter’s first experience with daycare; Mrs. Ray and her team helped to acclimate her immediately. My daughter became more independent, recognized words & letters, learned to play with others, and more. It’s a very structured, clean environment. Highly recommend!!
Best daycare and teachers are so helpful and great with the kids
This program is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Rayann is really in it for the kids and she takes so much pride in that! I was so nervous about sending my daughter to daycare but I couldn’t be happier that I decided to send her! My daughter has learned so much in a short amount of time and she LOVES Mrs. Ray! I would recommend this program 100% to anyone looking for day care!
