Sunshine and Smiles
Open today 7:30 AM - 5:30 PM
Description provided by the business.Hi, I’m Sev! As a former Chemical Engineering student, I love bringing a "science mom" energy to everything I do—from STEM activities to the precision I use for medical care. I started this daycare because when my own kids faced journeys with T1D, cancer, and neurology, I couldn’t find a space I truly trusted, so I decided to be that person for other families. I have extensive medical experience, including T1D training (Tandem, Omnipod, Dexcom). I also provide fresh meals made with love daily. I’m here to be the partner you can finally lean on!

Parent Reviews
Sunshine and smiles has a wonderful atmosphere, my kids love going to this daycare, and having a blast . when it’s time to come home they always say “see you tomorrow Mrs sese”. My kids always feel safe and happy. I recommend this daycare 100%. So happy I found this place.
I just moved here from ny with my 5 year old, I can’t tell you how happy I am I found a daycare I can trust and my baby loves! As a single mom it’s hard to trust anyone with my baby. Sunshine and smiles literally made my baby come home smiling. The place is so cute and I can’t empathize enough how grateful I am to find a place so clean and so attentive thank you Sevem! She has amazing children herself which made my decision to choose sunshine and smiles as my forever day care thank you 🙏🏻❤️
What can I say about Sunshine & Smiles? Sevem is so amazing, caring, compassionate, and much more. You have to bring your child/children here to know. This is not just a day care but a loving home for your children and they may not want to go home when you pick them up. Sevem fills the day of your child with so many activities that range from educational to fun. Her knowledge and creativity will keep your child/children engaged and will not be bored. Sevem provides a loving home for your child/children. She treats them like her own. You can go to work or go about your day without worrying about your child. As a mom, I like this peace of mind for my children.
Sunshine and Smiles is always wonderful. We definitely have a peace of mind knowing our kid is in a safe environment, that is so focused on having our children grow. Sev is always warm and welcoming. My husband and I are business owners that have to put in a-lot of hours and knowing they are in the best hands makes it easier to be working parents. We loved bringing our daughter here!
We’ve had such a great experience with Sunshine and Smiles. You can truly feel how much they care about the kids. The environment is warm, patient, and genuine and that kind of peace of mind as a parent is priceless. I’m so grateful we found them.
I have had such an amazing experience with Sunshine and Smiles. You can tell they genuinely care about the kids and treat them like their own. My child comes home happy all the time and is always excited to go back, which speaks for itself. Sev is so knowledgeable and great with children. She keeps us updated, is easy to talk to, and handles everything with so much patience. It's such a relief knowing my child is somewhere safe, loved, and well cared for while I’m at work.
Sunshine & Smiles has been such a blessing for our family. My son absolutely loves going every single day — which as a parent says everything. He feels safe, happy, and genuinely excited to be there. Sevem is truly amazing. She is so patient, nurturing, and incredibly attentive to each child’s individual needs. What gives me the greatest peace of mind is how confidently and carefully she manages my son’s insulin. As a parent of a child who needs that level of medical attention, trust is everything — and she handles it with professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care. You can tell this isn’t just a daycare to her — it’s her heart. She goes above and beyond for the kids, and it shows in how comfortable and loved they feel. I’m so grateful we found Sunshine & Smiles. 💛
