As the Director of The Sunshine Academy, I'd like to wish you a warm welcome! ☀️
For 27 years, I’ve been passionate about Early Childhood Education, believing that the first five years of life are profoundly formative. As early childhood educators, we have the privilege of nurturing the growth of our youngest and most impressionable population. Children thrive through play and exploration, and as their guides, we can offer enriching, positive experiences that encourage them to take safe risks and explore their world.
As a director, my goal is to empower our teachers to excel as they shape environments that foster children’s physical, emotional, mental, and social development. Our educators have the unique opportunity to teach empathy, friendship, problem-solving, and to support each child in following their interests and developing their strengths. I believe we can create a better world by inspiring the next generation to reach their fullest potential.
- Nikki, Director
