How old does my child need to be to attend Sunshine Preschool & Pre-K?

What ages are your Classes?
At Sunshine Preschool & Pre-K we teach toward the goal of Kindergarten Readiness. Our classes include preschoolers who vary in ages from 3-5 years old. We have found that instead of having the traditional method of a separate Preschool and Pre-K class, our method of integrating them together allows for learning opportunities that become very valuable.
Over many years we have watched it become obvious that there are several milestones to watch for when talking about whether or not a child is ready for Kindergarten. These include Socially, Emotionally along with the most common Academically. By attending Sunshine Preschool & Pre-K for our full two-year program we are able to watch for each of these milestones, truly get to know your preschooler and then send them off to Kindergarten where the only thing that is new to them is the building, the teacher and some new friends. In every other way they are ready to build on the strong foundation that makes up their educational journey.
What is the cost?
Tuition at Sunshine Preschool & Pre-K is $3500.00 a year, there are several payment plans available to you, most choose the monthly plan of $350.00 a month for 10 months*. A non-refundable fee of $100.00 is due at the time of enrollment.
A one time Materials/Supply Fee of $100.00 will be charged on August 1st. (*August - May)
