Truthful Mama Jul 23, 2016
I have used this provider for less than 6 months

This daycare is a parent's worst nightmare. The staff is unprofessional, dishonest, and doesn't seem to have a genuine interest in the kids.We signed our 2 year old son up for Sonshine upon moving to the area, and took him out after attending for a week.
Leaving your child somewhere new can be a scary venture for both parents and children, and this establishment made the transition absolutely miserable.
They were very vague when I called to check on him, which left me feeling super uneasy. Upon enrolling, we were told a sheet would be sent home with him daily outlining his day. It had places on it for them to list what he ate for each meal, how many times he pottied, what his mood was, etc. When I went to pick our son up, however, the sheet was blank. I literally had no idea WHAT his day was like. After speaking with the supervisor about the issue, she said she would get onto her staff about not filling out the sheets. That was day one. When I picked up our son on the following day, he was in completely different clothes and I was told he had wet himself. That sent up immediate red flags- as this NEVER happens. Ever. I immediately got out his sheet and it was half way completed, showing what he had for breakfast, and leaving other meal spots blank. No idea if he'd eaten lunch. It also had some times listed for when his diaper had been changed, but it looked suspicious, as extra times were added there in the end, in different writing/ink/etc. That was day two. The following day I counted how many diapers he left with and waited to check the times they had listed for changings when I picked him up. They had 5 or 6 times listed, but only 3 of his diapers had been used, leading me to believe it was a complete lie, and thus showing me why his clothes needed to be changed the previous day.
Anytime my husband or I went by the daycare, the kids were never learning or doing anything, though on multiple occasions they were watching tv, which is disturbing. Our son wasn't the same in the period of time he was enrolled here, and it was the most heartbreaking feeling I've ever endured.
Even in the horrible position we were in, both having jobs to go to, we couldn't bring ourselves to take him back. We spoke to the owners who offered no type of apologies or explanations, and would not refund us for the upcoming week we'd paid for. There was nothing about this daycare that emitted religion, warmth, or kindness, and I would never recommend it to anyone who cares for their child's happiness and wellbeing.

My experience with Sonshine Learning Center has been very positive! I have two children enrolled at SLC for the past 2 years and we love it! The teachers, management, even the director are very sweet, welcoming, and passionate about early childhood! It's a great place!

Disappointed Mother Mar 25, 2013

Teachers are fantastic but Director, J. Kilburn, is a horrible business woman. Always paid on time, even early, and was never good enough for her. She has a "You NEED ME" attitude, and that is not for me. Save your money go elsewhere. I didn't head any warnings about her, she's a mean lady. Doesn't spend tution on the school but you can find her at the Oglethorpe Mall every weekend.
