What can I say about Sunrise ELC??? On a scale of 1-10, Id rate it 11 :-) I am so happy to have found Sunrise. They are not your typical daycare setting. This is a Preschool set up with a goal of achieving Exceptional Academic Standards & Promoting Social Skills. My daughter has been in the Center since she was 6 months old & has now graduated on her way to Kindergarten. The amount of knowledge she has amazes me. I didnt know I would be saying this soon, but she has already began teaching me some things...... By the time she was 2 she could spell & write her name (All 8 letters). She has learned how to speak Spanish; how to communicate using sign language, and how to socialize with almost anyone. Because of Sunrise, she is well on her way to achieving Academic Success. The Director, Ms. Semera treats the children just like her own. The love & care she gives them makes you have peace of mind knowing your child is in a wonderful environment. The Staff are always available & are extremely friendly + helpful. The Teachers have amazing credentials & engage the children in fun activities to help them learn better. My child was always excited to be going to school in the morning. Thank you Sunrise, for not only being a learning environment for my daughter, but for being her second home.

All I can say is that Ms. Samera and her staff are AMAZING! I would recommend Sunrise Early Learning Center to any parent who is looking for the best daycare and pre-school for their child. My daughter is 5 years old and has been going to Sunrise Early Learning Center since she was about 8 months old. It’s almost like a second home for her; Not only that but they helped to foster my daughter’s academic and social development by engaging her in various learning activities daily. They also balance her experience with many fun activities throughout the year. My daughter even surprises me sometimes with some of the things she learnt. When she was about 3 y-o, I was amazed one day when I heard her telling my nephew the name of the president and all about the White House in Washington DC. I really love that because when my daughter is around my friend’s kids, same age group as her, I can see where she is more advanced than most of them. I feel a sense of comfort to know that my daughter is always in good hands when I am at work.

My kids have been attending this school since the week after Thanksgiving, my Son(4) really enjoyed the new transition, my daughter on the other hand till this day has been kind of resistant, but when its time to pick up she is having a blast! I think a lot has to do with her age (2). but over all they both really enjoy this school. My only critic is that its very small and quite tight in there. Also the payment schedule I have been having trouble with it seem no matter what time I get there the two directors (which are the only ones who can accept a CC payment) are never there! then they charged me a late fee. This was quite frustrating but since then I have asked a couple of other parents how they do it and most just write a check. its the same account and less stressful. I give the school 4/5 stars. I was really nervous about sending my children to a new daycare but my son actually gets homework and my daughters speech has improved tremendously. over all a great school to prepare your children for preschool.

My son went to Sunrise for a few months and I was not pleased at all. My son would cry when I dropped him off and cry when I picked him up which alarming. I would leave crying everyday because I did not feel comfortable leaving him at the school but as a single mother I had no choice.Most days I would pick him up and he would be extremely thirsty. So I would send big containers of juice and water for him to drink throughout the day. I would make surprise visits and the staff would act abnormal as if they could not be comfortable. I once witnessed the preschool teacher grab a little boys ear for simply saying hello to another Teacher. The owners husband is often there and he seems little shady and less hospitable to new parents. I felt really uncomfortable around him and did not want my son around him at all. I wouldnt recommend sending a child who cannot yet speak because you never know what sort of treatment they are receiving.

I LOVE this center. I have four children that attend and they have practically helped me raise my 3 youngest.(6,5,and almost 2) I brought my 9 year old here when she was 4, my 6 year old has been here since he was 6 months old, my 5 year since she was 3 months old and my almost 2 year old since she was 8 weeks. I was very sadden with having to be away from my baby at such a young age but I trusted the center especially the infant and toddler room teacher to take care of her and they do. She walks in the door like she owns the place now. Sunrise is truly a second home for them, Ms.Semera and her staff are awesome. It doesnt get any better than them :)

Sunrise Early Learning Center is a wonderful school. Theyre very involved in making sure our kids are well educated and above there grade level and developmental stages. My daughter has been attending Sunrise for less than a year now and she has blossomed in to a lovely young lady and is above her grade level for her age. Sunrise teachers and caretakers are amazing, words can not describe how wonderful they are. I can leave my daughter knowing that she will be well taking care of and that her educational development is a priority.

Sunrise ELC is a great facility. You can tell that everyone really cares about the kids and Mrs. Semara (director) is very involved with day to day care of children which I think is good to see. There is a lot of structure and I can see how my children are progressing academically and socially. I would definitely recommend SELC to parents in the area. My only critique is that I would like to see their website and social media accounts updated with new content more regularly.

Great School my son has been a student since he was 1. He is now almost three. The School has helped him with not only learning his ABCs and numbers, but he is potty trained. Great staff for the children and great atmosphere for kids. Will definitely recommend!

I just got an awesome tour from Ms.Semara. If you want a more detailed review go on Yelp as I placed many pictures and given my true opinion
