Our Wonderful Staff
We are blessed with a wonderful, loving staff whose average time working with with Sunny Day Care children is now over eight years. And, it is also a major reason why over sixty families have entrusted their children to Sunny Day from their early, infant years through our Montessori program. Families of one, two, three and even four children have been with Sunny Day from the oldest being born until the youngest goes off to first grade. Families are what we are all about!
