Parent Reviews
Working with Miss Stephanie here is relief in a world of stress. If you need someone you can trust with your kids she's a winner.
Sunshine House has been absolutely amazing! I was having a hard time allowing someone to care for my baby that is not family, and they have gone above and beyond. I'm beyond grateful that I have found them and would highly recommend them. Thank you Faren and team for making this momma comfortable!!!!! 100/10 recommend!
From the moment I walked into Sunshine House Little Elm, I knew it was the right place for my daughter. The bright colors, rainbows, live plants and cozy schoolhouse cottage feel stood in such stark contrast to the rigid, dull daycare I had visited earlier that day. When I was on the hunt for daycare and trying to figure out Pre-K with Little Elm ISD, which we didn't qualify for, a woman helping me there recommended Sunshine House Little Elm. She told me her own daughter had attended and that they had the best experience. After our time here, I can see exactly why this school is so highly recommended in the community. As a COVID baby with no prior formal daycare experience, my 5 year old daughter needed a place where she could feel safe, supported, and inspired, and Sunshine House Little Elm became that place. I specifically chose this school for its curriculum that values creative and critical thinking over the rigid, drill-and-memorize approach that leaves little room for creativity. Here, children aren't just taught to “stay inside the lines,' but to create their own. The focus on emotional intelligence and community values has been just as important as the academic preparation. Since starting in January 2025, my daughter has gained all the skills she needs to enter kindergarten with confidence. The teachers and staff here are truly exceptional. Ms. Faren, the director, is a model of professionalism and leadership. She has a deep passion for early childhood development and an unwavering commitment to education that shows in everything she does. Under her guidance, the team at Sunshine House Little Elm shines. Ms. MJ, my daughter's very first teacher, welcomed her so warmly and was endlessly patient as my daughter adjusted to a new routine. My daughter has learned so much from her academically, she has built a strong foundation in early literacy, math, and problem-solving while also growing socially and emotionally. Ms. May shared an extraordinary bond with her and brought so much joy to her days. Ms. Laura's kindness and sweetness never went unnoticed, and Deshawn has an incredible gift for connecting with children, especially the older kids, bringing out the best in each of them with patience, humor, and genuine care. and Ms. Kaylee made the evenings before pick-up feel extra special, giving my daughter one-on-one attention that meant so much to her. I felt complete trust in the staff every day, knowing my daughter was in an environment that balanced learning, creativity, and emotional growth. Sunshine House Little Elm wasn't just a daycare, it was a community that helped shape my daughter's early years in the best way possible. If you are looking for a place where your child will be seen, valued, and nurtured while building the skills they need for the future, I cannot recommend Sunshine House Little Elm enough.
Best daycare hands down. My children are alway excited to go to daycare every morning. The teachers and the directors are very friendly and are always smiling with open arms.
via SunshineHouse.comWe give our school 5 stars!!!!! We are so blessed to be a part of this SSH family!!!! The management team keeps me in the know, keeps the school running efficiently, and takes care of my needs as a parent who wants my children to be in a clean, safe, loving, and educational environment. The staff of teachers have shown dedication to making my children feel welcome, special, loved, important, and do a fabulous job of helping my children grow academically, socially, and physically, and have fun too!
