Infant Childcare (6 Weeks-1 Year)

At The Sunshine House of Charleston, SC, your baby will explore and learn in a nurturing, loving environment that provides the warmth and security your infant is used to receiving at home. In our infant daycare, we utilize the primary caregiver system. A specific teacher will be your baby’s main caregiver and will work closely with you to provide consistency with your existing feeding, playing and sleeping schedules. While your baby is playing, your infant is also learning. Using our individualized Brain Connect Infant Curriculum, each week your caregiver will create a lesson plan for your baby, tailored to your infant’s interests and development.

Our toddler daycare program is designed to respond to this unique stage of development. Your toddler will participate in fun learning activities and creative playtime that stimulates the mind and encourages exploration, while introducing structure and an established routine. When your toddler is developmentally ready to start potty-training, we’ll partner with you to create consistency from school to home. Our toddler daycare program helps your child build invaluable skills, such as language development, fine motor skills, analytical skills, positive self-image, creativity, increased attention span, communication and social integration.

Meet Our Director, Juliet Shine

Hello! My name is Juliet Shine, and I am excited to expand my role here at The Sunshine House of Charleston as Center Director. I started with the company in 2024 as an Assistant Director where I learned a lot of valuable information and skills to equip me for my new role.

I received my bachelor’s degree in educational studies/early childhood education from Winthrop University. I am currently in school for my M.Ed in teaching and learning at Francis Marion University, and I have more than 8 years of childcare experience.

I married my high school sweetheart in 2023, and we have been blessed with 3 beautiful daughters (ages 3, 6, and 7). I love traveling and experiencing different cultures, making DIY projects (Pinterest is my best friend), shopping, and teaching!

I am deeply committed to providing children with a safe and nurturing environment where they can learn and thrive. I believe that engaging and high-quality learning experiences are key to the success of both children and their families. I am also dedicated to supporting my staff and will always go the extra mile for them. I am excited about the opportunity to grow alongside our kids and their families.
