Description: The goal of Sunshine Smiles Academy, Inc. is to produce happy, intelligent, well-adjusted children. Here you will find a nurturing, educational environment for children of ages 6 weeks to 5 years. We encourage and praise children even for the smallest accomplishment and provide age-appropriate, self-directed, fun activities daily to challenge and build developmental skills and a positive self-image. Classes include infant, waddler, toddler, twos, preschool and pre-kindergarten programs.
The purpose of our facility is to provide quality care for young children. Your child will have opportunities to gain practice in language, fine motor skills, large motor skills and self-help skills. They are taught to respect others’ property and rights. We give the children in our care opportunities to learn in a setting where our commitment is to facilitate a feeling of safety and love to the children.
We recognize that each child has unique talents, learning styles and personalities. Our highly-qualified teachers and staff are committed to working within each child's comfort zone to ensure optimal social, emotional and educational results.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

Great place for my daughter. They worked with her with such love and understanding during her transition to full time daycare after being home with dad for 2.5 years. They tolerated multiple daily calls from me for over a month- I'm down to one call a day! They get it... parents need a safe place that nurtures their children to learn and grow. I was lucky to get my daughter in there.
