Sonshine Early Education
Our mission is to share and teach the love of Christ while teaching the concepts of language, math, fine motor and large motor, instill a love of learning and to nurture the social and emotional development of young children in a safe and caring environment.
"Teach children how they should live, and they will remember it all their life."
Proverbs 22:6 (GNT)
