About Sunkids
Our approach is based on a belief that THE HEART OF EDUCATION IS EDUCATION OF THE HEART.
When you trust someone else to care for your child, you want the peace of mind of knowing you have chosen a safe, secure and happy environment. A place where your child can grow, learn, and have fun – even when you are not around. At Sunkids Childcare, the nurturing and development of children is a responsibility that we accept as a privilege. Safety, warmth and attention are at the heart of each day.
As parents, you are the primary educators of your children. SUNKIDS CHILDCARE is here to support you in this vital role, making it easier for you to balance the other responsibilities in your life. We are committed to being open, approachable and respectful, to ensure we understand what you want and that we provide the consistency of care all children require. You can rely on us to be always responsive to your child’s needs and wellbeing and to keep you fully informed through personal, face-to-face communication.
