Teachers
Sunshine Center’s ten lead teachers have many years of experience between them. Each teacher has earned either a Bachelor of Arts degree, or his or her CDA (Child Development Associate credential). Complimenting the teachers are paraprofessionals in each room who assist the teacher in carrying out the curriculum.
Volunteers also play a large role in the classroom by reading to the children, helping with individualized instruction, and serving the needs of the children.
