Sonshine Philosophy

At Sonshine Preschool, our goal is to create an environment that reflects God’s love and character through the warmth, understanding, and Christian conviction of each teacher. Music, Bible stories, and day-to-day activities will give children the opportunity to experience the basic belief to “Love God and one another”.

Our staff seeks to satisfy and develop the spiritual, emotional, physical, intellectual, social, and creative needs of each child through our love and supportive behavior.

Sonshine History

Sonshine Preschool was established in 1983 and continues to be a vital part of Orchard Community Church’s ministry to children and families. Upon completion of a church remodeling and new buildings project, the preschool moved to new classrooms on November 1, 1999. Capable, caring teachers have led children in our loving and creative environment for over 30 years.
