It helped myself as a parent, feel comfortable knowing that my daughter was going to be treated with respect and be met where she was at. Since attending Sunshine House, my daughter has grown in her confidence, social skills, and social-emotional development. All of the teachers have a nurturing touch, make learning fun, and greet all the parents and kids one by one when they come for drop off or pick up. A big plus that has been great in integrating into the Sunshine House community is the monthly family breakfasts! Our family loves having the opportunity to see how our daughter engages with her teachers and peers. Thank you to everyone at Sunshine House, you all are the best!

The staff is amazing, super patient, loving, helpful and take the time to know all the kids. They send you cute little texts/pictures of your child which gives you peace of mind, especially if they had a rough morning at drop off. My kids came home telling me about the special learning themes that were planned and what they did during circle time. The directors Ms Chelsea and Ms Victoria are great--great communication, send reminders, you know the learning themes ahead of time and they plan special little events for the kids to participate in.

Absolutely Exceptional - More Than Just a School…read more Year after year, this Montessori school continues to amaze our family. It is rare to find a place that balances rigorous academic excellence with such a genuine focus on character development and respect. We have watched our youngest (now 4) blossom here over the last two years. The growth in his education level is nothing short of outstanding--he is learning concepts I wouldn't have expected at his age, yet he is doing it with joy and curiosity. But beyond the academics, what impresses me most is the school's commitment to constantly bringing in new activities and enhancing the learning environment. They never settle; they are always finding ways to be better. A few amazing days of the year for you and the family: All the Holidays - The school ensures we celebrate holidays from across all cultures and life. Fathers' Night: An amazing way to connect their children with their fathers. One of the best moments I look forward to every year. I Mother Tea Time: Another amazing experience for the children to spend some quality academic and fun time with their moms. This standard of excellence isn't limited to just one teacher; it is consistent across the board. Every staff member, at every level, cares deeply about these children. If you are looking for a place that will truly invest in your child's future, this is it. We couldn't be happier.

My two kids started attending daycare with Ms. Patty in September 2019. We had reached out to a few…read moredifferent daycares in Brentwood and were nervous about putting our kids in full time care with someone we didn't know, especially after visiting a few facilities in the area and just not feeling 100% comfortable (nothing bad, just not the vibe we were hoping for). I am SO grateful that we found Ms. Patty and Ms. Alma!! Enrollment was a smooth process and it didn't take my kids long to warm up to everyone. They truly provide the most loving, nurturing, and wholesome environment for the kids and it is EXACTLY what I had hoped for when looking for care. Patty keeps them on a schedule and always has fun things planned for them and my kids absolutely love it there. She also provides healthy (and homemade!) meals and snacks which saves me so much time in the mornings. She keeps her home very clean, organized, and safe for the kids. I am always blown away by the things they learn from Patty and Alma - not just educational things (which are AMAZING - Patty does Circle Time and my kids absolutely love it and learn SO much!!) but also things like life skills and manners and how to be kind to one another. My daughter has some neurological issues that can make her a bit of a challenge from time to time - I've always felt extremely comfortable with how Patty handles my daughter and her special needs. She is gentle and patient with her and it really shows. I've also been very impressed with how Patty has handled the pandemic from a business perspective - she keeps us informed of changes policies and state guidelines, and it's just been nice to have consistency for my kids during these times. She's been incredibly reliable and that's something that is important to me (especially when it comes to my children). Sadly, we will be moving away from the area soon and the hardest part of our move is not being able to send our kids to Patty and Alma's every day. They have such a positive impact on our children, and are truly like family to them. We will miss them ALL - their whole family and all of the kids - SO much! I could go on and on - but really, if you're in the Brentwood area looking for home-based childcare, please do yourself a favor and give Patty a call. She's amazing!!!

We've been part of the Sunshine House family for five years between my two kids, and I truly can't…read moresay enough wonderful things about our experience. The staff is absolutely amazing. They treat the kids with so much patience and kindness while still giving them the freedom to play, explore, and just be kids. One of the things I love most about Sunshine House is that they embrace the playful side of childhood while teaching independence, communication, and important social skills. They encourage the kids to try things on their own, express themselves, build confidence, and learn how to interact with others. The children there are genuinely so sweet and kind--and I don't think that happens by accident. The teachers work with them every single day to develop the skills they'll need to be successful when they move on to elementary school, while still allowing their individual personalities to shine. If you're looking for a preschool where your child will be loved, encouraged to have fun, and given the space to grow into their own little person, I truly couldn't recommend Sunshine House more. After five years, it's definitely bittersweet for our family to be saying goodbye.

Here we are 9 months later and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jayme and the amazing way she cares for our son. Every day that I have to leave him and head into work, my heart breaks just a little, but it is such a relief to know that he is spending time with Jayme and the other children. She is such a blessing and wonderful with the kids! They have so much fun together and it shines through daily. From the nutritious meals she prepares to the arts and crafts that Jude brings home daily, it's all part of what is helping my son grow and blossom into a confident toddler. I was so worried when we began looking for full time care last year that we wouldn't find anything centrally located, affordable and a good fit for our family. Settling was just not an option for us- as I'm sure all parents want the best for their children and expect to be able to find it. We know we are so lucky to have found Jayme.

Ms. Sheila along with Ms. Susan and Ms. Faye were so wonderful not only to my little boy Atlas but to all the kids that were under their care. Ms. Sheila's communication is excellent and the bond that she and Atlas developed is unremarkable. This was Atlas's first time in daycare and we thought he would hate it but he LOVED it. With Ms. Sheila's attentive care and lessons that she shared with Atlas and the kids, he would also share it with us at home. To Ms. Sheila, Atlas always brings up his memories with you and always tells us that you're his favorite teacher! Thank you so much again!

Teacher Sheila runs this place and she is truly exceptional. She's very organized, patient and attentive. You could also tell that she is compliant to the state regulations and makes sure her staff is vetted, which puts our minds at ease. They all seem to be very nurturing and genuinely care about the kids' individual needs. When my daughter was new, they gave her enough time until she was fully adjusted to their structure. When we had a baby back in November and my toddler started acting out --- they were extra patient with her, held her when she cried until she was back to her normal bubbly self. When another kid was acting out and accidentally scratched our daughter's face, she informed us immediately and provided the necessary care for our daughter. The facility is always clean with appropriate safety measures. They do a lot of engaging, age-appropriate activities for the kids, with time indoors (storytime, crats, etc) and outdoors too (outside play) when the weather permits. Teacher Sheila maintains good communication with the parents, consistently providing updates and sending pictures around afternoon. When I pick up my daughter, she seems to be always happy, showing us whatever art work they did for the day. Meals and learning materials are all provided for, that truly makes it convenient for us busy parents. This is my child's second daycare and we feel that our child is getting high quality care from Teacher Sheila, Ms. Faye and Ms. Susan. The only con I could think of, and this is very minor, is there is a bit of a wait time when parents ring the door to pick up the kids. I hope they will let the parents in first before prepping the kids so we don't have to wait outside in the cold or the hot summer sun :) Overall, we have a very positive experience and we highly recommend this daycare. I would give them 10 stars if we could.
