SONshine Kids exists to provide an environment where the love of God can shine into the lives of preschoolers, and to partner with their parents to lay solid spiritual foundations.

We commit to provide:

Bible Study
In Bible study, your child is taught basic biblical principles. Your child’s teacher is prepared with lesson plans that are age appropriate designed to teach through different learning styles. Nursery classes are divided by developmental stages and 2 year old classes - Kindergarten classes are divided by date of birth. There are at least two teachers in your child's classroom at all times. All Preschool Leadership are required to complete a Background Check. 

A mixed nursery and a mixed preschool class are available at the 8:15 hour.  Specific age graded classes are open from 9:15- 12:15.  Children are welcome to stay for both hours.  Click here for a complete list of the Bible study classes available for your child.
