Sunshine Academy

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Sunshine Academy! The staff is beyond professional, the school is always clean, and our kids have grown tremendously—both developmentally and socially—since starting here. The transition from their previous daycare was seamless, thanks to the welcoming and supportive environment the staff created. The teachers communicate so well with us, keeping us informed and involved, and we truly appreciate their dedication. Our kids love coming to school every day and adore every single teacher they interact with. It’s clear that the staff genuinely cares about the children, and that makes all the difference. If you’re looking for quality, compassionate, and professional childcare in Bend, I highly recommend Sunshine Academy. A special shoutout to the director, Sarah, and sub-director, Chelsea—they always greet us with a smile and make our family feel welcome and cared for. It’s evident that they have fostered a wonderful environment for both the staff and the kids. We are so grateful for everything they do!

I am thrilled to write a review for this Sunshine Academy! From the moment we walked through the doors, we knew we had found a special place for our child. Sarah (owner) and the teachers are incredibly dedicated, nurturing, and genuinely care about each child's development and well-being. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed, balancing play-based learning with structured activities that keep the kids engaged and excited to learn. Our child has shown remarkable progress in social skills, creativity, and academic readiness thanks to the comprehensive and stimulating program. The environment is safe, clean, and inviting, with plenty of space for both indoor and outdoor activities. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure that every child feels welcome (all the teachers know every kids name) and included, fostering a sense of community and belonging. Communication with parents is excellent. We receive regular updates on our child's progress and daily activities, which keeps us involved and informed. The preschool also hosts various events and activities that allow families to connect and celebrate together. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our experience at Sunshine Academy. It has been a joy to see our child thrive in such a positive and supportive environment. We highly recommend this preschool to any parent looking for a place where their child can grow, learn, and be loved.

My toddler has been at Sunshine Academy for 6 months, and I highly recommend it. The teachers are engaging and friendly. The space is open and clean. I really appreciate that they provide all food, and with a chef on site the meals are variable and fresh. Sarah, the director, is amazing as is Chelsea, who works at the front desk. I cannot say enough good things about this daycare!

Wow! From the minute you walk through the door, you know this place is awesome! Well organized, community driven and everyone is SUPER friendly. I cannot recommend this place enough to any and all parents from all backgrounds. Both our boys are super happy here. And they have a chef!

A great daycare and preschool with teachers that really love and care about your kids. Sarah Saunders is a wonderful owner and director with a loving hands-on approach to childcare and child development.
