Family Reviews

I just love this center!! My son is now 14 months, but has been attending this center since he was just six weeks old. My son has had the same morning and evening teachers since day one, which speaks volumes!! My son was always a little ahead of his age group, and I owe it all to these amazing staff members who had a huge part in his infant development.

The Sunshine House at Davis Lake Pkwy is A M A Z I N G!! The teachers are wonderful and do a great job with the children. The staff is great with communication with the parents! It’s always something exciting going on in the classes and my children have happy and great stories to tell daily!

Shakeya H.

Incredible staff! You will be amazed at what your kids learn. Everyday is something new. My daughter has been studying Spanish and even knows a few words in Swahili. I highly recommend Sunshine House on Davis Lake!

William S.

It’s a great feeling to hear your child tell you what she did, as she’s still learning with words and even sign language, sings songs, knows numbers and letters. I love knowing my child is being cared for at school with the love that she would receive at home.

Latoya B.

My son has been attending since he was an infant and is now graduating from Pre-K. The best thing about this program is the staff. The teachers and support staff really love children and will nurture your child’s development.
