The right room for every age, from your first drop-off to kindergarten-ready.

Every classroom at Sunny West is built around one age group's real needs, not a one-size-fits-all schedule. Here's what a day actually looks like in each room.

🌱 Toddlers Β· 18–30 months

A gentle first step toward independence

Your toddler is discovering the world one texture, sound, and wobbly step at a time. Our toddler classroom is built around that discovery: soft, safe, sensory-rich spaces where exploration always comes before instruction, and where small class sizes mean your child is never far from a familiar face.

What makes it different

  • Potty training support at your child's own pace, in partnership with you at home.
  • Sensory and motor-skill play built into the daily rhythm, not treated as separate "free time."
  • Small, attentive class sizes.
  • 4 healthy meals a day, at no extra cost.

"We absolutely love this daycare! The teachers are caring, attentive, and great with the toddlers and preschoolers. I especially appreciate that it's a bilingual daycare, they're very helpful with potty training, and they always keep us updated on how our child is doing. The facility feels very safe, clean, and welcoming. You can tell they genuinely care about the children and their development. Highly recommend!"
