| - I have a child that is currently enrolled at Sunny Days and was disappointed to see the inaccurate review below. I happened to notice this review and had to set the record straight. I visited this facility when I was expecting and have always been treated like family by all the staff members.
Teacher/Infant ratio: Super low. I did my homework, used the AZ state daycare search, and visited ALL competitors in the east valley. Name brand, Corporations, smaller facilities - I checked them all out. I actually left one facility in tears because I was shocked by the amount of babies crawling around a tiny room with one bored teacher trying to contain the mayhem. Sunny Days has the lowest teacher/infant ratio in the area. This is what attracted me to the facility originally!
Food/Storage: I have opened my son's cabinet on many occasions (without warning) to find that it has been maintained and organized. Everything is labeled and orderly to prevent mix-ups. If I forget to label my food I can count on the staff to label and date it for my son's consumption. The staff wears gloves and maintains a clean playroom for the infants. I have a fine eye for carpet choking hazards and haven't come across anything that was concerning here.
A huge selling point with Sunny Days is my ability to manage my son's diet. I want my son to have the best, freshest food possible so I make my own food at home. The staff has been very accommodating with my requests around his special non-processed diet. I'm totally high maintenance, but they are very patient with me. Other daycare facilities require that babies to stop using a bottle and transition to a sippy cup or they have strict corporate policies. Sunny Days allows me to be in the driver's seat and manage his diet/ feedings.
Infant Room: The previous review said that all the toys came from Goodwill? I disagree. I have personally sat down and pulled the toys out with my son and was impressed by the range and cleanliness of toys in the room. I have never seen any weird crust or dried food on the toys. They are all nicely stacked in short cabinets or baskets that are accessible to the kids. On another note, most pedestrians actually don't recommend walkers because of risks around head injury so daycares don't allow them due to liability. If a daycare had walkers I would be concerned! On another note, you cannot have pillows in an infant room! That's a huge SIDS risk and I'm wondering if the review below is even legit because any new parent knows pillows and babies don't mix!
Infant Curriculum: My 11 month old son has numerous activities such as: Water Play, Painting, Coloring Macaroni Necklaces, Family Photo Booklets, Fourth of July Hats, Body Painting, Color and Number Education, Songs. He also gets read books that help his personal development, my personal favorite being "Teeth are not for Biting" - LOL! All of these activities are logged on a daily report that is distributed to parents.
Teacher Education: The infant caretaker is not 18 years old - I actually know this because it was her birthday last week and I asked her how old she was. I feel that it's rude to disclose a women's age on the internet, but I can assure you that she competent, well educated, motherly, and caring professional. I'm guessing that you might be referring to Miss LeAnn, but you can't assume someone is 18 just because they are young and pretty.
Outdoor Facilities: Sunny Days is located in a commercial shopping center at the corner of Dobson and Chandler. The facility has a huge fenced in play-yard in the rear of the building.
Security: There are two gated entryways to gain access to the play areas. During my pickups and drop-offs I have always seen the gates securely closed to prevent any through traffic. The door buzzer rings to indicate any visitors and I am always greeted by a staff member.
As a mother who works full time I feel that my child is safe and happy at this facility. We have been customers since 2012 and been happy with the level of service provided on a daily basis. They allow parents to stop by at any time and check on their kids. I had some facilities tell me that I have to call first. Can you imagine calling first to see your child? Weird. After my maternity leave ended and I had to return to work, I would routinely stop over on my lunch break to visit my son. My experiences with the center and staff have been positive and I can also say that my husband is also pleased with Sunny Days as well.
