About Sunrise Children’s Services, Inc.
Sunrise Children’s Services Early Childhood Education Preschool Program has been providing high quality services to families with typically developing children, children with developmental disabilities and those “at-risk” for developmental delays for over 28 years. We offer a fully licensed and NAC-accredited developmental preschool and provide programming focused on a child’s cognitive, language, physical, social and emotional development. Our students learn and play in an inclusive, all-abilities learning environment.
Our national accreditation with The National Accreditation Commission for Early Care and Education Programs demonstrates our commitment to quality performance using research-based criteria and evidence-based practices. We also are a Gold Seal Quality Care Program. This program acknowledges child care facilities that are accredited by a nationally recognized association and whose standards reflect quality child care.
Our classrooms use the Frog Street Curriculum, a comprehensive early childhood curriculum designed to support children’s development and learning through engaging, age-appropriate experiences. The curriculum supports key areas of development, including literacy, language, math, science, social-emotional development, physical development, and the arts. Frog Street provides opportunities for both teacher-directed and child-initiated learning while encouraging children to explore, participate, and develop skills through meaningful experiences. Weekly lesson plans are created to support the individual needs, interests, and abilities of each child. Students learn best when lessons are engaging and responsive to their individual learning styles and developmental needs. Individualized lesson plans and instruction are important to helping each child reach their full potential.
