Santa Clara Sunshine Daycare & Learning Center

About

Santa Clara Sunshine Daycare is an at-home based childcare center with two locations within walking distance of one another. Our childcare centers focus on play-based learning, where the children help guide the curriculum. Santa Clara Sunshine Daycare • Our Approach • Ages We Serve • What Parents Think • Toddlers • Preschool A play-based approach involves both child-initiated and teacher-supported learning. This happens when: The teacher encourages learning through interactions The teacher takes an active role in guiding interactions in play Children are supported in developing social skills like cooperation, sharing, responding, negotiating and resolving conflicts Play based learning - at its core - is that learning should be fun. Here at Santa Clara Sunshine Daycare, we implement that style of learning everyday, with inspiration from Montessori and Reggio Emilia philosophies, so children can learn through hands-on experiences and active play. They’re on the move! We have a safe environment and fun curriculum for toddlers to explore. Every day, your child will explore science experiments, create artwork, and play pretend—all the skills needed for their big next step: heading off to Pre-K! "Thank you for putting in lots of effort to set up these activities. They are fun for us to see and a lot of fun and educational for kids. Yesterday, Dhruv was telling me stories about 'Dinosaurs going away' and 'rain coming down from clouds.'" [Google Places type: child care agency]
