SUNSHINE'S PRESCHOOL PROGRAM @ Fair Oaks Ranch
Sunshine Day Camp is proud to offer preschool at our Fair Oaks Ranch location in Canyon Country. Located right off the 14 freeway (near Costco), Sunshine is an easy location for drop off and pick-up for families throughout Santa Clarita.
AN UNPARALLELED PROGRAM
At Sunshine Day Camp, we offer a quality, affordable, safe and an unparalleled preschool program. Our preschool program combines academic innovation with socialization activities and character development – creating a well-balanced experience for each child. Our curriculum encourages reading and math readiness, creativity, problem solving, fine motor skills and peer interaction.
At Sunshine, our dynamic, highly trained staff provide quality care – not simply babysitting. Our goal is to create an environment in which a child’s talents, academic skills and personality will flourish. We have been meeting this goal for preschoolers in the Santa Clarita Valley since 1987, offering both a full-day and half-day program to meet the diverse needs of families.
Childhood is a journey, and education and character building are dynamic, continuous processes. The journey doesn’t end when your child enters kindergarten or 3rd grade or 6th grade or 8th grade. It continues through adulthood. Our Sunshine preschool program is the first step on this journey, helping young people reach their potential in academics, creativity, and character.
THE SUNSHINE PROMISE
Through the guidelines set forth in this handbook, we can fulfill the Sunshine Promise:
• To provide a learning environment that meets the developmental and emotional needs of children.
• To develop a child’s character and self-worth by teaching him/her to place proper value on others and self.
• To positively reinforce traditional family values such as honesty, respect, and love.

• To give parents peace of mind because they know that their child is being cared for in a safe and loving environment.
