"Lincoln is our oldest kiddo, and boy was I naive when I began his preschool search. I had zero mom friends and had no clue how early one needed to start getting their kids geared up for enrollment. Fast forward to the discovery of sunshine school and present day (I actually think a patient might have mentioned it and then a Google search ensued with an email to Kristen) and we could not be happier!

From the bottom of my heart, I truly appreciate everything each one of you contributes towards the early learning, growth, and development of our kids. The art gallery was amazing. The show was adorable. The time you all put in to coordinating a zillion little humans with different personalities and learning styles etc to do what we saw tonight is appreciated so much, and the hours and work behind it is clearly driven by the love you have for these kids.

I know we do not say thank you enough, and for that I am sorry. So…THANK YOU! You are very much appreciated and loved by Lincoln and so many others."

"Our daughter attended Sunshine for the past 2 years and our son just started in the 3 year old program last night. Sunshine is simply an amazing place for children to grow and develop a love for learning. The staff is professional, but more importantly they are nurturing, empathetic and patient. I truly feel that they know our entire family, and they love both of our children. Our daughter has just entered kindergarten, and not only is she prepared academically and socially, she is excited to learn every single day."

"The Sunshine School in Oro Valley has a stellar reputation among Tucson-area teachers, and for good reason. In the hands of a nurturing and loving group of teachers and staff members your curious and untamed toddler will be transformed into a successful and inquisitive student well—prepared to handle the kindergarten environment. We came to Sunshine on the recommendation of a friend who couldn’t say enough positive things about the school, and found that her glowing report was well-deserved. We were welcomed by the school’s director Sue into a wonderful, warm learning environment. Sue made me feel right at home and I knew immediately that I would be happy to entrust her with my precious child.

What initially impressed me was the way in which the students were so actively engaged in their learning, and I knew I wanted my son to be a part of that world. From the outside of the school, you would never guess that to the side and in back is a play yard to be envied, where the children can further engage their imagination while developing their gross motor skills on climbers, swings, sandboxes and bikes. In the classroom, children learn how to write their letters, both capital and lowercase,in the innovative Handwriting Without Tears program. The classroom experience is enriched by a varied and amazing selection of centers that include everything from music and foreign languages to art and life skills. The school’s library is full for both student’s and parent’s use. While your child learns about borrowing books, you have the opportunity to peruse parenting resources and guides to help you.

For me, the commute to the school was long and tedious, but in the end well-worth it. I would drive miles to have my kids benefit from such a wonderful and unparalleled learning environment. As my son continues to blossom in his kindergarten class, his teacher said to me that the best advice she could give me for my younger daughter would be to send her to Sunshine."

"We love Sunshine School! Both my kids have learned so much socially and academically to prep them for Kinder. Highly recommend!"

"Sunshine School in Oro Valley has been a wonderful environment for our daughter to grow and learn. The teachers and staff here are respected in the community and have decades of experience. They go above and beyond out of a true heart of love and care for the children. Thank you!"

"As a parent, I couldn’t be happier with the care, education, and nurturing environment provided by Sunshine School. In particular, this is why I recommend them:

1. Caring and Compassionate Staff: From day one, it was evident that the teachers genuinely care about each child’s well-being. Their patience, kindness, and understanding create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
2. Engaging Curriculum: The curriculum at Sunshine is thoughtfully designed to foster creativity, curiosity, and a love for learning. My child has blossomed academically and socially, thanks to the engaging activities and projects.
3. Safe and Clean Environment: As a parent, safety is a top priority. I appreciate the attention to detail in maintaining a clean and secure environment. It’s evident that the staff goes above and beyond to ensure the children’s safety.
4. Effective Communication: The open communication between teachers and parents is commendable. Regular updates, parent-teacher conferences, and emails keep us informed about our child’s progress and upcoming events.
5. Fun and Enriching Activities: Whether it’s art, outdoor play, gardening or themed days, my child always looks forward to the exciting activities planned by the preschool. The balance between learning and play is perfect.
6. Inclusive and Welcoming Community: Sunshine School fosters a sense of community among parents and children. We’ve made lasting friendships and feel like part of a big family.

In summary, Sunshine School has exceeded our expectations for our two girls, and we’re grateful for the positive impact it has had on our child’s growth. I did not want to share my littles with anybody, but Sunshine School made it easier to do and I’m glad I did"

"Sunshine School is the best decision I have made for both my girls. The teachers are experienced and caring, the administration is organized and responsive, and the overall experience has been wonderful. My children love it there and the transition to kindergarten was stress free."
