About the Provider
Funshine Children's Center operates a developmental child care center where children are nurtured with the love and affection that would otherwise be provided in the home. Each child is encouraged to build his/her self confidence, satisfy natural curiosities and discover the joy of learning and friendship through the development of his/her own body, mind and spirit. Our goal is to provide enriched language experiences in a happy and secure environment to help your child discover that ... "Learning is Child's Play!"
