Description

We’ve created a warm, secure, and stimulating environment where your baby can grow, explore, and thrive! Our infant nursery is thoughtfully designed to provide comfort while encouraging curiosity and early learning. Your baby’s primary caregiver focuses on their individual needs, working with you to maintain a consistent routine that mirrors your home schedule—including bottle times, naps, and playtime. But here’s the best part—while your little one plays, they’re also learning! Our exclusive Brain Connect Infant Curriculum helps your baby reach key developmental milestones, from motor skills to language, cognitive growth, and emotional development.

We have two children at the Sunshine House at Buckinghorse and have received nothing but excellent care! From the infant room to the preschool room, we have been very happy with our children's care!

We have loved our experience at Sunshine House. Both of our kids are well loved and taken care of! My toddler has learned so many new things while in their care! We love Ms. Amy! Our infant teachers Ms. Cynthia and Ms. Brandy have also been incredible and made it so much easier to leave our little one!

We have appreciated all the support and love the teachers have shown our three kids at SSH-Buckinghorse. We love the curriculum, teachers and trust that the Sunshine House provides. We are thankful to have a place where they can learn and feel loved throughout the days we're not able to be with them. Highly recommend.

The facility is very clean, the staff are friendly, everyone is very engaged in the care of my child and always greet him when they see him. We are happy that we made the swap to this daycare. We have not been disappointed.

The entire staff is wonderful!

Our son has thrived in the infant room here! His teachers are so warm and welcoming, especially Miss Brandi - he adores her. As a first time mom, I was nervous about entrusting his care to someone else, but he is blossoming at the Sunshine House!

I have two kids at the Sunshine House, R-nessa and Alisa are WONDERFUL with my toddler. He learns SO much each week, he's very well taken care of and they're great about keeping me updated through out the day! My preschooler is always excited to come each morning which is always a plus! She enjoys her days with Ms. Leslie and Mr. Curtis.
