What makes Sunshine special?One of Sunshine's greatest achievements is our longevity. We have been providing excellent quality provision for over 27 years, and over that period of time have educated and cared for thousands of children! This makes us unique.
We regularly receive reports from parents who's children continue to 'love learning' and enjoy formal schooling. We know many who also continue their studies right through to University level. We are also lucky to have second generation children who's parents are now in their mid-late 20's! As a family run daycare, we have always emphasised the benefits of a home-from-home setting. We believe that in order to nurture development, children must first feel safe and secure. Only when this is established can effective learning take place. |
