My youngest child and two of my grandchildren attended this school. It was a fantastic experience for our family. We are so grateful for the early education experience that they had. The school is a tight-knit community with plenty of community events and ways for parents to be involved. The teachers provided personalized lessons for each of them based on their own needs. They all enjoyed a hands-on learning experience. We definitely recommend Sunrise to any family looking for infant, preschool, pre-k or kindergarten!
