About the Provider

Description: Sunshine Schoolhouse was developed with the idea of creating a unique, fun and creative atmosphere in which children could develop their young minds. Established in 1997, Sunshine Schoolhouse opened as a Christian Nursery School in Freehold, NJ. Our passion for educating preschoolers and the positive contributions we felt we were making on young children and their families, led us to open in 2004, a second location in Millstone Township, NJ.
The nursery programs at Sunshine Schoolhouse are creative, innovative, fun-filled, active and comprehensive. The specific classroom activities for your child will depend on the age group. Through games, crafts, music, stories and more, your child will learn wonderful concepts that they can apply meaningfully to their everyday life.
Prospective families are strongly encouraged to visit our school. Visitors are always welcome!
We encourage you to compare our school with others, as we will be an integral part of your child’s growth and development. This way, you will feel confident that Sunshine Schoolhouse is the best choice for your child.
