Authentic words shared by Greeley parents and families who experienced SonShine Preschool.
“When we moved to Greeley 6 years ago, we began looking for a preschool that matched all my high 'former preschool teacher' expectations. After our first tour of SonShine we felt instantly at ease. Each teacher was enthusiastic, loving and showed us that our child was important as an individual in the class. We have since seen 2 of our children through SonShine and our third is attending this year. They have learned so much in addition to ABC’s and 123’s. They made friendships, grew strong foundations for kindergarten, and a great love of Jesus was shared with them. We can’t thank them enough for such an impactful experience—they really have become family.”
The Herauf Family
Parents of 3 SonShine Students • August 2022
“There are not enough superlatives left to describe SonShine Preschool. The school year has been full of challenges—all of which were met with creativity and grace by the teachers at this wonderful preschool. My grandson fell totally in love with his teachers Miss Kim and Miss Cory in the Pre-K class! He looked forward to every day; he was smiling and bouncing into class when I dropped him off and bursting with stories and hugs when I picked him up. As a mother of four and grandmother of eight, I know a gem when I find one! Christian principles are the foundation and committed teachers do the rest.”
“We have loved our time with SonShine Preschool! Over the course of our 6 years, with three children, we have watched routines become habit and learning a joy! The integration of Bible stories and principles into the daily lessons was an important part of the preschool journey. We are beyond happy to have sent our girls to SonShine Preschool!”
“My daughter absolutely loved going to preschool here—she still talks about it to this day! The teachers are amazing and they really get the kids ready for kindergarten!!”
