Our Philosophy

Sunshine Little House of Learning believes that children learn best through a play and activity-based curriculum. It embeds multiple and varied learning opportunities into meaningful and authentic experiences. This provides your child with the most options to help them explore their interests and creates teaching moments out of these activities. When the child is interested and happy, the window for learning is at its biggest.


What our parents say about us...

We switched our 14 months son to Miss Sunshine because he was not doing well in his previous daycare. After joining SLHL, my son is happier and sleeps better at night. The attention and cares he gets from Miss Sunshine and her staffs help him overcome his separation anxiety. He loves to go to school and is happy everyday when I pick him up. We send our younger daughter to SLHL when she was 9 months old. She receives the same love and cares from everyone and thriving! We love to see the daily reports with little details that Miss Sunshine sends out and all the pictures she posts. It’s hard to find someone you trust your babies with and we are glad to find Miss Sunshine!

Words cannot describe how wonderful Sunshine’s Little House of Learning is. We moved from Portland to the area when my son was 18 months old. We toured countless daycare centers and several in-home daycares. After visiting each one, there was always a feeling that something was missing until we visited Miss Sunshine’s.

From the first moment you step into SLHL, you know it is a clean and safe environment for your child. The days are structured to encourage learning from play, and the circle times are always fun for learning new concepts and songs. Every day, Sunshine sends back a report so you know what your kid learned during school.

Now my son is 3 years old. I cannot describe the leaps and bounds he’s developed since being at SLHL. Miss Sunshine was extremely supportive during his potty training and I attribute his 100% success to her love, endless patience, and encouragement.

My son plays well with other children, is constantly talking about the new things he learned each day, and is simply happy each morning to go to school. I’m frequently surprised by new words that he learns from SLHL. To top it all off, Miss Sunshine also cooks a variety of delicious and healthy meals for the kids (not the typical daycare’s canned food); and it’s yet another reason why this is the perfect place to be.

If you are wondering and analyzing all the daycares in the area, stop now. Just stop by and visit, and you will know your search is done. You will have found a new family at Sunshine’s.

Under Miss Sunshine’s care our son’s vocabulary and speech have improved dramatically. The change was noticeable within just a few weeks! In addition to the incredible care provided, Miss Sunshine and her staff go out of their way to provide detailed and highly personal reports of our son’s daily activities.

It’s a wonderful environment for our son to grow and learn in, and we feel lucky to have found Miss Sunshine.

Sunshine is so warm and loving that my twin toddlers loved her from day one. Having been with a nanny for over 2.5 years, I expected lots of tears during the first drop off. However, there were none. Moreover, at the end of their first day, my kids told me that they had fun and wanted to return. My husband and I love Sunshine’s’ Little House of Learning because of their balance between focused learning and free play which we feel are very important. I love that there is a curriculum and our kids are obviously learning and happy. I really appreciate Sunshine’s extremely organized nature and always look forward to reading her daily reports which detail out the activities of the day and specific details about how my children interacted during those sessions.

I feel so lucky to have found Ms.Sunshine! My daughter has an incredibly high dose of separation anxiety and I was prepared to stay with her for a few weeks in the classroom to help with the transition. Imagine my surprise when my little one waved goodbye to me within just an hour into the first day!!! Sunshine has set up such a compassionate and nurturing environment, school soon became a natural extension of the home.

And in a relatively short period of time, I see such an amazing transformation in my daughter in every respect possible. She has increased independence and social skills as well as a great start on academics. Sunshine truly brings out the best in each child. Her curriculum is top notch and her passion for working with children is evident.

I also appreciate how she works with me and listens to me as a parent. I feel like I have a true partner in helping my daughter reach her full potential. My husband and I often remark to each other on how fortunate we are to have found this hidden gem. Thank you Ms.Sunshine! You have given our daughter an unmeasurable gift.

From the beginning I’ve had peace of mind leaving my daughter in Sunshine’s care. She engages the children with such calm, respectful and loving energy. My daughter has learned so much and looks forward to her days there. I love reading the daily summary emails with little stories about my daughter, the interactions she has with peers and the projects they do each day. I feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful place for my daughter!

We found Sunshine Little House of Learning through this website, and cannot express how grateful we are for that! We could tell from our very first visit that it was a nurturing, happy place. This impression has certainly proved itself true, and grows with each day. Miss Sunshine and the other care takers are incredibly attentive and loving with the children. Miss Sunshine is also very good at communicating with us and very accommodating of any requests we have. Finn has been attending SLHL for 8 months (starting when he was 10 months old), and is always happy to be dropped off in the morning. He’s advancing in leaps and bounds, probably in large part due to high quality attention he gets at SLHL. The daycare feels like a big happy family, and we are very happy to be a part of it.
