  My son had been going to Sunrise for almost 2yrs. He used to love going in and seeing teachers and friends. But as teachers he loved left for other opportunities and he got older, a lot more active, apparently that was too much for this "school" to handle. I was told my son needed to be tested so we could "potentially figure out what's wrong with him and help him fix it". An active kid shouldn't be an issue. They may need more structure and care...but that obviously wasn't the case. Within the last 3mo my son has been sent home for the most ridiculous things! *Not napping/making too much noise during nap time. *Hitting a kid with a block. *Having an accident at nap time. *Hitting a teacher. ITS A DAYCARE CENTER!!!! THATS WHAT THE STAFF IS PAID FOR!!! Children have fits. They don't nap all the time. They sometimes pee & their parents forgot to bring extra clothes. You DONT call someone at work to come get a kid for stupid things. I understand that teachers are ppl and nobody deserves to be hurt...but he is a child! I pay almost $200 a week for 1 kid to be there for what?!!! My son has come home with bruises and scratches that are unexplained even though incident reports are supposed to be a thing. He also had to get stitches in his head. He was blamed by the staff for the injury. I was told when picking him up, "He was running when he should have been walking and slipped into the water fountain". The Director tried to work with us for a bit but seemed to stop caring after a while. I was told when I brought my son back in he would need to start an official action plan...which was understandable. When I show up Monday morning before work with a kid ready to be dropped off to see his friends, we are greeted in the front office with a pile of his things and told he has been disenrolled. A business that's been open since 630a couldnt reach out before we get there at 830a to let me know I need to make other arrangements?!!! How professional!??? If you have a kid who isn't perfect and my need extra attention I would NOT take them to Sunrise. They will work with you until they feel like it and then leave you high and dry.

  The staff are amazing and teachers extremely well educated and provide a safe and nurturing environment for my son. I couldn't ask for a better place for him to be while I work, I never have to worry that he is being well cared for. When I was laid off from work, they allowed me to bring him in while I went on job interviews. I appreciate their help and support. Not to mention he was very excited to go back to school when I went back to work. How your child feels about going to school is so important and I'm pleased to say he loves it there!
