I couldnt agree more with the top 2 reviews. I am separated from my sons mother he is 5 and has been at sonshine for 2 years (his mothers choice) I wanted him to go to St. Pauls in Lititz from the start. The people at Sonshine are incredibly rude and literally dont even acknowledge me or my wife when we drop my son off 2 times a week (we are the ones who pay for the daycare-which makes the whole thing even more annoying) The women there do not say hello or goodbye to me or my wife ever- they dont even look at us, when I take my son there in the morning it is dark and they are typically watching a movie? Seriously! I am paying a lot of money for my son to be in "pre-k" and every time I ask him what they did at school he says "nothing/its boring/played" so you learned nothing? I ask- "nope" I have begged and pleaded with his mother to switch him to St. Pauls to no avail. My nieces and nephews and even myself went to St. Pauls in Lititz and would highly recommend it over sonshine- they treat you with respect at St. Pauls they greet you they teach your children a lot and they are structured. I could go on forever about how rude and cold and judgmental the "teachers" at sonshine are but it wouldnt come close to describing how awful it is. Please before you send your children there do some research- there are plenty of good daycares and preschools around- Do not pick this place if you want your child to learn and have a valuable experience!

My wife and I are very happy with the choice of Sonshine. It has had such a great influence upon our three children. Our daughter attended for 5 years and transitioned smoothly into kindergarten. My fondest memory is one Friday afternoon; picking her up from Sonshine; strapping her into her car seat; having her look up at me; and say "Papa, today I invited Jesus into my heart." That day, at story time, Pastor Kyle had read and prayed with them. Although our three year old didnt know everything, she understood enough to know what Jesus had done for her. As John wrote, "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth." Our middle one is excitable, and he tells us many joyful tales of the days activities and events. Moving to academics, our youngest son, who is not quite two, gets many compliments for his ability to identify the all the letters of the alphabet. Its nice to be able to deflect the praise to his daycare. I know that much of his letter knowledge has come from the efforts of Sonshines "Penguin" teachers :) In short, we feel blessed to have an excellent daycare for our little ones. Lastly, we have appreciated Sonshines flexibility with respect to our hours. They were able to accommodate our switch from full time to part time. In conclusion, we have recommended Sonshine to our extended family, and I have no reservations in recommending it to you. ~Jim Weaver

I had my child there for about a few months. This was about a year ago however my child is still suffering from whatever these evil people did to him. Chris had nothing nice to say about my child and wanted us to get him evaluated. There were bruises in both his upper arms and thighs that looked like a handprint shape. I still have the pictures. When I asked about them Chris and Lynette said they didnt know where they came from except maybe that another child put him in a headlock and punched him. Fast forward to his last week, Chris had the audacity to yell at me saying they were from a staff person and she told me that before which she didnt. He also always complained of a boy there rubbing his butt on him and pushing him down. Lynette also lied about him saying that he hated someone, my husband was standing right with him and he never said that. She lied straight to my husband and to Chris. This center is a very sad excuse for a childcare center and I do not recommend it to my worst enemy. My child is struggling with the anger about how people yelled at him and hurt him. He trusts no one in his current center and is always on the defense. Do not send your child here. It may have been good at one time, but now its not.

PARENTS READ : We had two boys at this school, one three and the other four. I did not personally drop them off or pick them up for a very long time, however after a few months of asking them what they learned at school and getting nothing its boring", I decided to investigate. I intermittently checked into their school over the course of a month and found that the employees were grumpy, rarely smiled and were seemingly negative about most of the kids. The building was often dark, quiet and not very structured. After a handful of strange events such as our boys regularly saying goodbye to the manager with zero acknowledgement from her, continuous odd stories involving the teachers, calls to pick up kids from 1-2" of snow, unexplained bruises.. it was obvious this business was not committed to truly caring for children. We cut the cord and moved to Small Wonders Academy. The boys are ecstatic and have come so far, so quickly!
