Our Story
50 Years of Bright Beginnings
Did you know The Sunshine House has been shaping young minds since 1975? Time flies when you're making a difference!
It all started in Greenwood, SC, when a husband-and-wife duo—both public school teachers—struggled to find high-quality early education for their young daughter.
Their solution? Create a nurturing learning environment that would set a new standard for childcare. That’s how The Sunshine House was born! In fact, one of our very first schools, located on Grace Street in Greenwood, SC, is still welcoming children today.
From a Single School to a National Impact
Fast forward 50 years, and The Sunshine House has grown into one of the largest early education and childcare providers in the US:
🏫 100+ schools across 6 states
👩🏫 2,000+ dedicated educators and caregivers
👶 12,000+ children nurtured daily
💗 300,000 children educated over the last 50 years!
While our founders have since retired (and their daughter is now a parent herself!), our commitment to high-quality early education remains stronger than ever.

At The Sunshine House, everything we do is guided by our vision and mission:
