Diane Dougherty – Sonshine Director
A child is a very precious gift from God. At Sonshine Kindergarten, Preschool and Daycare, we consider it a privilege and responsibility to serve our community. We offer a quality preschool program designed to prepare your child for kindergarten or first grade. Parents whose children attended kindergarten at Sonshine have reported their child is well prepared and often well ahead of the rest of their class, especially in reading and writing.
Our trained, certified, and dedicated teaching staff uses the ‘A Beka’ curriculum, which includes Bible stories, language development, math, phonics, reading, music, art, crafts and social skills. Children are encouraged to nurture the abilities God has given them through a variety of interactive, “hands-on”, developmental activities. The teaching time is balanced by a variety of indoor and outdoor play and memorable field trips.

Our goals for each child:

Philosophy and Goals
Children are encouraged to nurture the abilities God has given them through a variety of interactive, “hands-on”, developmental activities. We offer a preschool program which includes: Bible time, language arts, math activities, art, music and crafts balanced by a variety of indoor and outdoor play. These experiences are designed to stimulate a child’s interests and prepare him or her for kindergarten or first grade.
Our greatest hope for each child is that he or she will form a positive attitude toward learning, school, him or herself, and others. However, our primary goals at Sonshine are to help each child know Jesus as their Savior, and to develop Godly characteristics in their lives. The staff at Sonshine, wants to help each child have a positive, happy first experience at school so that they go on to kindergarten or first grade with a sense of delight and anticipation.
Our staff also provides a nurturing and engaging environment for daycare. Our daycare is designed to delight your child with social interaction, stimulating indoor activities and outdoor activities (on our child-safe playground). Encouragement of each other is emphasized.
