At Sunshine Academy, we are committed to excellence through careful attention to all aspects of children's development and education. We understand that children learn more in the first five years of life than at any other time and that families are children's first teachers. We strive to work together with families to understand each child's learning style, interests and abilities. We provide a caring, supportive environment that challenges each child to develop at his or her own pace in all aspects of development - social, emotional, cognitive and physical - and that involves families in shaping the program.
Our mission is to assist students in understanding and using the English language and Canadian Culture through effective instruction, long lasting friendships, and community interaction.
