Sunshine House of West Columbia 2882 Emanuel Church Road, West Columbia, SC 29170

"I highly recommended the Sunshine House and this location! I was so nervous about putting my baby in daycare but he loves it and so do I! The Director, Assistant Director, and the Teachers are all so wonderful and caring! They stay on top of things and I always feel my son is safe and well taken care of while he’s there. Their learning program is amazing and they feed him so well, I am extremely happy with them! Thank you guys so much for everything you do!!! :)"

"This daycare is the absolute best center in Columbia! They take care of my baby and the director has helped me out so much when it came to the care of my child. I am blessed to have them. You won’t be disappointed."

"RUN !!! Deciding to send my son here, was by far one of the worst decisions of my life!! When I originally contacted the daycare I was told there was a waitlist for the program. (My sons 18 months old) One week later, we magically received a call stating there was an opening. Having time to reflect, I’m sure it’s due to someone pulling their child from the program like myself. While researching, I was happy to see how many years within the childcare business the director Miss Alexis, along with the assistant director miss E, possessed. This in combination with the false portrayal of professionalism on the phone resulted in me feeling comfortable. With that being said, my son is very social, and this would be his second daycare experience. At his original daycare he never cried on drop off, and he didn’t hear until day 3. On day 3 he started losing it prior to walking in the classroom door. ( His first daycare runs with a school, resulting in it being closed for summer. ) Trust you mommy instincts, mine were telling me no, but several people told me this is part of becoming acclimated. Week 2 I get to daycare at 7:40am, only to be told at the door that they will be closed two days due to a teacher having a family emergency. This resulted in me scrambling to find childcare last minute, or deciding to take the day off. The second incident I would deem MAJOR is a child tested positive for COVID within his classroom, and we were never notified. We were only told this information once our son was feeling under the weather, and my husband and I kept him from daycare two days. I took him to the doctor, and was told all was fine, so he returned. Not even 30min after dropping him off my husband receives a call stating he’s dry heaving and couldn’t catch his breath. Like any mother, I proceed to go back and get him. Miss E jumps out her car where she’s smoking a cigarette, and lets me in. From there it’s almost a foot race to get to the classroom prior to me. Please note this has never happened before. I get to the classroom and he’s a complete mess. He’s crying uncontrollably, and no one’s attempting to console him. Along with this, he’s pushed so far under the table he couldn’t stand up if he wanted to. While this is happening, all other children are playing in the corner directly beside the door. I left a MESS, crying before I could even reach my car. I emailed stating he would no longer be attending the program, and not one person reached out. This within itself, speaks volumes about the overall program. Three other important facts: - Within 2, going on 3 weeks we only saw the director once. - I met a young who was to start working there on a Friday and her son started on a Wednesday for daycare. Never to be seen my me again. That within itself says a lot. - Curriculum? Lol if you enjoy them listening to the radio for $300/week please send them here."

"My children have been attending this program for almost 2 years now. And they absolutely love it here. The bond they have created with the Director Ms. Alexis and the assistant director Ms. E is so amazing. These two ladies most definitely go above and beyond and make sure my children are comfortable and well taken care of . These two ladies most certainly show dedication and passion with what they do. I don’t think I could’ve have found a better place where my girls could get the care that they do . I most certainly feel comfortable with my girls attending this program and with confidence I know they are in great hands."

"This daycare is amazing!!! My daughter has been here for almost a year now. Mrs E and Mrs. Alexis are amazing. My daughter who is almost 2 loves it there and loves her teachers and so do I. If you are looking for a place to send your child I would really consider sunshine house!"
