WELCOME TO SONSHINE PRESCHOOL!
We're excited that you're interested in Sonshine Preschool! As a ministry of Hope Community, Sonshine is committed to "Loving Children, Serving Families, and Touching Lives!" Our mission is to provide families with a safe, Christ-centered, developmentally appropriate and nurturing environment where children can develop a love of learning. Our classrooms are staffed with educated and experienced teachers who reflect the warmth and joy of daily Christian living. Our program is balanced to meet the spiritual, social, emotional, physical, intellectual, and academic developmental needs of each student.

Curriculum
Sonshine Preschool teachers creatively build a Christian, play-based, themed curriculum that aligns with the Nevada Pre-K standards. Our themes change every 1-2 weeks and teachers use the Nevada Pre-K standards to provide children with the foundational skills needed to be successful in their education and beyond. We do chapel in class at least twice a week and focus on positive guidance strategies in the classroom in order to support social and emotional learning.
Ages
Sonshine accepts children between the ages of 2 and 5 years old. All children who are enrolled in the 3 year old through pre-k (5 year olds) classes ARE REQUIRED to be full potty trained prior to attending Sonshine Preschool. Students must wear underwear (no pull-ups or diapers) and be willing to always use the potty. 2 year olds ARE NOT REQUIRED to be fully potty trained prior to enrolling in the 2 year old class, we help with that process! For more on our policies, click here to view our ‘23-’24 Parent Handbook.
