Our low ratio will give your child the one on one attention necessary for quality learning. We offer a nationally accredited preschool program. Additional programs in Hooked on Phonics and Hooked on Math are offered for the child needing an additional challenge. We work with our elementary school teachers to ensure our kids are prepared for kindergarten. Our Preschool hours are 8 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. with a very reasonable rate - $180 per month for 2 days a week and can add days depending on children's individual needs.

Please visit our website to check out our daily activities on our Preschool Blog. Healthy meals are provided and in accordance with the Colorado child and adult food program. Philosophy and Goals We believe each child is a unique individual and that children are happy and secure when they have plenty of opportunities to succeed each day. Success breeds self confidence, and self confident children approach learning as fun and actively search for information and solutions to problems. We believe in a developmental approach to learning: an approach where the child's individuality is treasured and his/her independence encouraged. We want to provide an environment that encourages each child to grow creatively, spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. We want to make it easy for each child to: 1. Develop security and independence in a world outside the home 2. Make friends and learn how to handle social situations 3. Help each develop a good self image 4. Stimulate the natural curiosity in each child to question, explore, and experiment 5. Help each child develop his/her cognitive skills 6. Provide each child with many experiences of being loved, understood, accepted, and successful: to find out that he/she is a person valued for their unique being----a child of God. Curriculum Educators and psychologists agree that between the years of birth and five, children develop, learn , and grow more than they ever will again during any other time in their lives. To make the most of these years, your child's preschool experience has been carefully planned.

OUR TEAM Our head provider and owner Monica Martinez-Jaik has more than 20 years of experience taking care of and educating children. She moved to Colorado from Mexico in 1998 and soon after was awarded by the Mexican Consulate in Denver the distinction of the Mexican-American Student of the Year in 2000. After this experience, she started to do volunteer work at the General Consulate of Mexico with the Latin community. Is at that time when she saw the opportunity to take care of the kids of diplomatic families arriving from Mexico who needed a loving, trustworthy and bilingual childcare provider. She realized she loved it and something she wanted to do in life. It became her passion and now that she opened her own child care center, one of her dreams is accomplished. She is a licensed childcare provider and is knowledgeable in the teaching of the Montessori Method. Although her first language is Spanish she is fluent in English and she loves to teach both languages to the little ones. Leticia Jaik is our cooking expert.

In-Home daycare
I'm here to help infants grow independently and being nurtured at the same time. I believe a child can grow and learn so much under many philosophers. The first year, a baby can learn so much. Many don't believe they can learn the concept of colors and numbers, but with activities and repetition, they can master the fine art of early education. A lot of interaction between baby and myself as well as the social interaction of other infants. Also time to explore the world around them with no interference. I welcome you and your family into my home for wonderful care and exploration. I am more than just a SAHM looking to care for other children. I've been in this field for ten years and counting. I've worked in a child care center setting, as well and nanny positions. I am infant nursery supervisor certified, early childhood teacher certified, and am working towards my director's certification. I'm always continuing my training online.

Sunshine Kids Academy

Sunshine Kids Academy is a home based preschool with both half day and full day programs. It is our mission to provide a high-quality preschool and childcare program at a competitive rate. Our half-day preschool program is from 8:30am-12:30pm and includes lunch. Our full day program is from 7:30am-5:30pm, with some flexibility if needed. We follow a daily schedule to allow children to feel secure and know what to expect at preschool. As a home based preschool we offer small class size and are able to customize your child 's learning experiences to best meet their needs. While some children are working on hand writing others might be working on letter recognition, we are able to accommodate both within the same setting. This also allows children to receive lots of individual attention. The Facility: Unlike many other in home childcare facilities we have the entire main floor set up as a preschool classroom. Our classroom has a similar set up to a childcare center, with the feel of a home environment. We do not have a T.V in our preschool, so rest assured your child will not be sitting around watching T.V. all day. Our classroom is spacious and bright with plenty of natural light. Everything in the room is at the children 's level so that our little preschoolers can easily access what they need promoting independence. The children can also enjoy the outdoors in a large fully fenced yard. Curriculum: Making learning fun is the goal for our curriculum. We believe that children learn best through their own experiences and creative play, this is why our classroom is designed with everything at the children 's level. Our program is designed to promote the physical, emotional, social and cognitive development of each child. Through hands on experiences children are encouraged to learn how to make decisions, interact socially, follow directions, and become curious and interested in the world around them. Theme based learning centers is how we present the curriculum to the children these include building blocks, make believe and dress up, home living, reading, music and movement, puzzles, science, art, manipulatives, sand and water exploration, math and writing. Both child directed and Teacher directed activates are included in our program. A new theme is introduced monthly. Included in our curriculum is Alphafriends, and Handwriting Without Tears. We provide high quality healthy, homemade meals and snacks as we believe nutrition is important to learning.
