Sonshine Preschool is a part-time, parent cooperative that operates as an outreach of Trinity Lutheran Church. We offer a developmentally-appropriate, enriching preschool environment where children grow and learn socially, emotionally, physically, academically, and spiritually.
I cannot even begin to express what a positive experience we have had this past year at Sonshine! It is such a well oiled machine, runs so smooth and you can just see they've been around for a while and have it all dialed in. They keep things fun and interesting for the kids and I love the perfect balance of structure and free play.
My daughter is thriving there and she was always a bit of a "mamas girl" but we didn't have a tear from day one because she is so happy there. They do a fabulous job prepping the kids before school even starts with various events where you attend with them and go to their classroom, so it really eases them into it.
We absolutely love Mrs.olds and Mrs.Das, her teachers this year. They are so awesome and so good with the kids, it's truly so sweet to watch how good they are with them.
Go into the office and setup a time for a tour and see if this is the right fit for your child. We have even referred other families here who have been equally as happy as we have been.
Sonshine, keep up the good work!
This is hands down one of the best preschools in the tri-valley (if not California). I have had some close family members attend this wonderful academy, and have come out bright, energetic, and ready for any academic challenges that await them.
Plus, the staff is truly gifted and highly educated and experienced in dealing with children.
Sonshine is a loving environment for children to learn how to be successful in in everyday life. The curriculum taught at Sonshine helps build a solid foundation to transition to elementary school. Where the children do learn the "district prerequisite" they also learn cooperative play. Cooperative play is essential in a child's development. It allows them the tools to handle situations in a positive manner. My 1st is now 7 and he is thriving in school. He came out of Sonshine with a confidence that has made him eager to learn. I highly recommend Sonshine, for helping shape children into well rounded students.
