EDUCATION
Sunshine School & Development Center provides high-quality early childhood education for children 12 months through 6 years of age. Sunshine School provides education to both children who qualify for Early Intervention Day Treatment (EIDT) services and those who are “typically” developing. We are proud to be certified with Better Beginnings from Arkansas Division of Early Child Care at a 3-star rating, their highest rating. Our education program provides a wide range of experiences and opportunities in a nurturing, stimulating and educational environment. We focus on each child’s individual strengths while promoting their physical, cognitive, self-help, social-emotional and communication development. Sunshine School utilizes the Adventures in Learning curriculum.
