My children will be starting at this daycare today! Im very excited. I went and toured the facility this past Friday and my children were able to start the next business day. Ms. Black was very sweet and welcoming. I had just gotten my childcare vouchers that Wednesday and Sunshine Daycare was the first daycare I called Friday afternoon.
