Parent Reviews
April is amazing! We found April in a time where a large center environment wasn’t working for our 3 year old boy. He needed more structure and focus. April has been so good for him- educating with curriculum and learning life skills. He has now joined the Pre-K program at Desert Oasis, but still attends Sun and Shine on a drop in basis. He absolutely loves it there ❤️
Sun and Shine Preschool, Ms. April is amazing. The classroom is set up so nicely, all of the kids learning on the walls for parents to see. Ms. April made it so easy to let my child go to preschool (I wanted to keep her home forever!), she is caring, kind, understanding and an excellent educator. I cannot recommend this preschool enough. Thank you Ms. April.
Sun and Shine preschool is amazing. Miss April is the most personable and relatable teacher I could have ever ask for. Our son and enjoyed being at school. He loved learning new things and retained the knowledge. After his hear with Mrs April he was writing his name and ready for kindergarten. Thank you so much!
We just loved April Berroud as my son’s preschool teacher. Although we were not a part of Sun and Shine Preschool, I highly recommend Ms. April. She took over for my son’s 4/5yr preschool class later in the fall. I was a little worried because he does not like change and had already grown attached to his first teacher. Well, let me assure you, my son had no problems adjusting to Ms. April. Hugs were a daily greeting and farewell which we greatly appreciated for our baby. She is strict enough with the kids to teach them manners and appropriate behavior but her constant smile and endless enthusiasm for teaching keeps the kids happy and engaged. Ms. April also teaches for different learning styles. The kids had traditional work sheets but she also used games and tactile learning techniques for those who need to use all of their senses to learn. Did I say endless energy? Ms. April also did physical activities with the kids (dancing for example) to help them burn some energy and keep them engaged. Although my 4yr old only attended preschool 2-3 days a week, Ms. April prepared him for kindergarten in the fall after he turned five. Alphabet and numbers we practiced at home but we were shocked when he knew the months of the year and several songs for their pre-k graduation. She incorporated language, math, and science (which my son adores) in her curriculum. The best review was from my son. A couple of weeks after preschool had ended, he told me Ms. April was the best teacher he ever had. As a mother who only let family watch her son, I never worried about him when he was in the care of April Berroud. She has a huge heart and a love for teaching all types of little personalities.
April is the best preschool teacher ever!! She takes her time to plan out her curriculum based on the needs of her children! She always keeps them busy and engaged throughout the day with age appropriate activities !! My son loved going to her house everyday and always wanted to stay he didn’t want to miss anything!! April has a lot of experience and expertise with preschool!! 10/10 recommend you bring your child to her preschool!!
Sun and Shine Preschool made my daughter feel comfortable in a place that was very different for her. Drop offs are a breeze and my daughter enjoys her time at daycare. I noticed an improvement in my daughter's overall knowledge, as well as her independence. April sends pictures and videos throughout the day so we know what our child is doing and how she is enjoying herself. We also get updates for things like potty time, nap time, and feedings. Having someone who we trust with our daughter is very important, as we do not have family in the area. April has been the like family to us and most importantly, to our daughter. With that being said, I highly recommend Sun & Shine Daycare as a place of nurture and fun for your little one.
Ms. April is a great teacher who is routine oriented and loves to be involved in herstudent's learning.
Wow! Mrs. April is truly amazing . I can’t say in enough words how comfortable she made me feel. Our son was super timid with tears to fallow. She made him feel safe and happy. He also gained his pre-kindergarten basics. That was a huge plus for our family.. Thank you Mrs. April for making our year the best. !!!
Ms. April is the most compassionate and caring teacher! My son loved going to see her everyday. She goes above and beyond to meet every child's needs. She keeps her daycare clean and ensures the children are taken care of.
