As a newly divorced single mother and a full‑time college student, finding a childcare center that truly supports both my son, and our family has meant more than I can express. My four‑year‑old has attended The Sunshine House on Decker Boulevard for nearly two years, and I know I will be genuinely emotional when he transitions to kindergarten. This center has been a constant source of stability, compassion, and growth for him. From his very first teachers, Ms. Ashley and Mr. Cam, to every staff member we encounter, we are always greeted with warmth and genuine smiles. My son adores you all Including his new teachers Ms. C and Ms. Shay and is already excited to invite you to his fifth birthday celebration in August. The recent improvements under the leadership of Director Ms. Lakeesha Watkins with Assistant Director Ms. Kierra Hunter have elevated the environment even further. Their professionalism, patience, and dedication are evident in every interaction. They create a space where children are not only cared for but truly valued. The hugs, the encouragement, and the intentional attention each child receives show that this is more than a daycare--it is a community. I was initially worried that my son's behavioral challenges and delayed potty training might lead to him being dismissed, but instead, I was met with grace, understanding, and unwavering support. Within months, he was fully potty trained, and his behavior improved significantly. One moment that stayed with me was when Director Keesha reminded me that if adults desire grace, children deserve the same--because they are people too. That philosophy is lived out daily in this center. The Sunshine House has been a blessing to our family, and I am deeply grateful for the kindness, patience, and professionalism shown to us. I wholeheartedly recommend this location to any parent seeking a nurturing, supportive, and truly child‑centered environment. L-Anderson read more

This place has been around for over 30 years. It's a small but wonderful place. They need an upgrade to that fence around the playground. Just saying, it's near a major intersection and if one kid digs deep enough to get out that's gonna be a disaster read more

I live in the neighborhood behind the Sunshine house on Decker Blvd in Columbia, SC. I've never used the center but concerned of the quality of care on the playground of the older children. I pass by the center daily and never seen the providers not seating at the picnic tables. They're clearly on their cell phones and not interacting with the children. This being a NYCAA facility I would think your standards were higher. read more
