Philosophy

Our Philosophy at Sunny Kids Academy is to provide each and every child an opportunity to learn, play, and grow in a high-quality family childcare home. We believe in order for children to be successful learners it is our mission to start early and teach them skills based on their age and stage of development. At Sunny Kids Academy family is very important to me. I believe in supporting all families by assisting them with their family values and providing an open-door policy.
