Sunshine Play School

I’m surprised and thrilled to be the first parent to review Sunshine Playschool! My daughter has been attending the preschool program for almost one year. She is now 4.5 years old is has been thriving there.
What helped us choose Sunshine over other schools is it that it is play-​based. You won’t see kids mindlessly doodling on worksheets. Children are engaged in learning colors, letters and number concepts through singing, stories, art and use of manipulatives. What more, is that while children are learning the academics they are having so much fun! They really promote a love for learning. Even more important, at least in my view, is that Sunshine is creating great little citizens by continually fostering social skills such as sharing and positive conflict resolution.
The four teachers there are amazing! I am in awe of how patient and kind they treat each of the children. I was initially worried about my somewhat shy daughter transitioning, however, she took immediately to Miss Heather and now says they are all her favorite ;)
Sunshine is really a community of amazing parents, children and teachers. We have made some great friendships which I expect to continue even after my daughter graduates this summer.
Some pertinent info about Sunshine:
Attendance can vary from part time to full time M-​W 8AM-5:30PM with tuition based accordingly.
Children who stay for the afternoon bring their lunches. Morning and afternoon snacks are provided. I think breakfast is provided for those that get there around 8AM. I have yet to perfect getting out the door before 8:30 with two kids. :)
Tuition is very reasonable in comparison to similar schools.
The site is located across from Alvarado park, very close to the beginning of the Arlington, a short distance from the freeway. We commute from El Sobrante and it takes ~10 minutes.
