Meet Our Director, April Sullivan
My name is April Sullivan. I have more than 22 years of experience in early education and have been with The Sunshine House since 2009. I earned my Child Care Management Credential from Greenville Technical College in 2014.
I was born and raised in the upstate. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 20+ years and we have two children and a beautiful granddaughter who we adore. We enjoy spending time with my family hunting and fishing or at the beach.
One of the most rewarding experiences in my position is to build a co-parenting relationship with our families to help shape well-rounded children. I enjoy having fun with our families, children, and staff to ensure that children are always engaged in a positive and loving home-like environment.

Meet Our Assistant Director, Hailey Rochester
Hello, my name is Hailey Rochester. I have five years of experience as a teacher and now the Assistant Director. I have two young daughters, and life is never dull between school, work, swim, and gymnastics lessons.
I started out as a parent at the Sunshine House and realized what a great family atmosphere it was. The staff was so friendly, I knew I wanted to come aboard. As a former veterinary technician, I never thought I could love another field of work, but here I am more than five years later and have loved every second of it.
I hope to provide a close family atmosphere with all of the staff and families.
