Hear From Happy Families
My child and I absolutely love this school. In my opinion, Post Sunshine is one of the best daycares in Brandon. We have been through quite a few daycare centers due to our family moving a lot, and I can honestly say I feel very confident my child is in good hands every day. My child stays busy, plays all day, does school work, art activities, field trips, etc. My child loves her teachers and says it to me all the time! I highly recommend Post Sunshine!

I absolutely love this daycare/preschool!! 3 of my grandchildren have attended this school for over 3 years. The teachers are so loving and friendly. They have animals like horses, goats, and bunnies (which we have to say goodbye to every day) Yesterday I witnessed a little boy who didn’t even want to go home. I highly recommend it, just walk inside and you can feel the love.

I felt the need to post a review after seeing some negative comments even though it has been a few years since my children have gone to Post Sunshine Ranch. Both of my children attended Post going back to 2006 and in all that time I can’t think of a single bad experience. It was always impressive to me that a facility that manages a large number of children seems to operate so smoothly. That can’t be an easy task. What more can you say than I fully trusted the owners and staff with the safety of my children.
