Sonas ~ Irish-Gaelic def. Happiness

Play = Joy = Learning

A place where Children's Happiness, Joy, and Well-being are our priority to treasure and protect childhood.

Our purpose is to positively impact the growth, development, and lives of children and their families, where the goals and purpose of children, families, individuals, team members, and communities align for the benefit and happiness of all.

We believe that by treasuring young children in our care, we foster happy childhood memories for children and their families.

Our Sonas Studios are different to anything you may have seen before, where children have access to the learning they want to do when they want to do it. If you are looking for something different, away from the "same-old" then Sonas is where you want to be.

If our purpose aligns with yours, we want to hear from you!
