Family Reviews

I love this center! I have had both of my children attend this school from infancy and have been given the opportunity to work at this establishment for that duration as well! It is so great to see how happy and helpful everyone genuinely is every day. All of the teachers know my children and my children are happy and comfortable with each of them! I would recommend this School to anyone looking for quality care!

Sunshine House is a fantastic place for child care. Both of my sons have had loving and intelligent teachers that care for my children as if they were their own. The management staff is fantastic and the facilities are clean and well kept. I would highly recommend Sunshine House!!

Is it normal to feel guilty and miss your kids every day you are away from them when you work a full time, Monday-Friday job? That said, I couldn't think of a better place for them to be, because you and your staff treat all the kids as if they were your own. So thank you and I guess I should be grateful when they go to bed at night telling me how much they love all of their teachers and their friends... Let alone be grateful for the amazing gains they both have made.

We are very pleased with the Sunshine House. They take great care of our 2 children. Our toddler is always excited for school. The administration is helpful and organized and the teachers consistently demonstrate dedication and innovation towards whole-child education.

Sam Coontz is the best director I have ever seen. She embodies everything that we want as a family in a childcare provider and manager of the school. She is creative, dynamic, caring, full of amazing ideas and experiences that enrich my children’s lives and my own. She fosters an incredible sense of community and helps me be a better parent on a daily basis. She is also incredibly great at managing staff, helping engage parents at all levels. Thank you, thank you, thank you for her. Our lives are better because she is directing our school.

Meet Our Director, Chantelle Garcia

I’m Chantelle Garcia, and I’ve been in early childhood education since 2012. I started as an assistant teacher, worked as a lead teacher in the 2- and 3-year-old rooms, and became the assistant director at The Sunshine House in 2015. I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and a Large Center Director Certification.

I love watching children grow, develop new skills, and gain confidence, while also working with families to create a consistent school and home environment.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and 5 children, trying new foods, swimming, and doing crafts.
