About
Welcome to Sunrise Preschools in Chandler, where we pride ourselves on being a high-quality early learning center. My name is Michelle Hill, and I am the school Director. At our school, we strive to ensure that parents feel safe and secure leaving their children with us and that those children leave every day smiling. We know that early education is integral in establishing a solid foundation for their child's educational journey. Our goal for students is to foster an environment where each child can challenge themselves and achieve success. As many of our staff are parents themselves, we understand how rewarding but also how demanding the role of a parent can be at times, especially a working parent. At our child care center, we are committed to providing a supportive community for the families we serve. We all want our students to be happy, nurtured, and provided with the best learning opportunities. Our staff members are dedicated to providing a safe environment and assisting your child on their learning journey while giving them the freedom to explore and develop in a warm and caring environment. Please feel free to stop in for a tour or call to speak with a member of our team. We look forward to the opportunity to build a long-lasting relationship with your family!

Love Sunrise! The teachers are attentive, patient, and kind. Our son loves coming each morning and loves his teachers! There is a set curriculum for each classroom, and the teachers allow time for going outside weather permitting. They are aware of our son’s needs and always communicate to us when there’s been an incident. I appreciate their insights on how to help our son learn to be kind and play with others. It takes a village, and I’m grateful this school is a part of ours!

This Sunrise is great! The staff is always open about how the day went. My girl is very happy about going to school and she talks about her teachers and friends all the time. Random water days outside are a big favorite and she really enjoys her friendship with the teachers.

This Sunrise location is such a great school with wonderful teachers and management! Everyone is committed to providing a safe, fun, loving and educational environment and we’re very thankful to Carrie and the whole team - Miss Della, Miss Danielle, Miss Jaylene and the amazing cook, Miss Donna, - to only name a few. One thing that I am particularly impressed with is the high teacher retention which made it possible to form strong relationships between staff and families. We definitely made the right choice for both of our children and they will for sure come back for camp.

We've been with this Sunrise Preschool since my 4-1/2 year old was an infant. Miss Carrie does such a good job finding and keeping the best staff - we love Miss Mona, Miss Nanda, Miss Della, Miss Shanta, Miss Favi, Miss Dani, and all the rest. My 2 boys really thrive there, and I highly recommend it.

Picking a place where you're children will spend most of their day is a BIG decision. After touring at least 5 local daycare programs we picked Sunrise and have not been dissatisfied. After having a poor experience at another school we were looking for a place that stood out. Here's some of the things we liked and continue to appreciate about this Sunrise location: -Staff that care and have been there for awhile, we left a school with high employee turnover. Our children form bonds with their caretakers and it's extremely important that things are consistent. I also want the teachers to be happy at their job! Can't emphasize enough how much this influenced our decision. -Student to teacher ratios are on point. It doesn't matter what time of the day I'm there, pick up, drop off, or anytime in between. The environment is always calm, the kids are always engaged in group activities and the teachers are always attentive to what's happening in their classrooms. My son enjoys going to school here and walks himself to the classroom, parents know how big of an indicator this is for a food environment. Drop offs are never a battle and I value this tremendously. -The environment is great. Tidy and interactive classrooms with good natural light and a well kept outdoor area. -Good communication before, during, and after enrollment. Staff are easy to get a hold of and management is always available. There's no 800 number that routes you through a call center, I can call Carrie the manager anytime I need something or have a question. -The tuition is reasonable. -They have an app that sends updates. -Part time and full time schedules available for some age groups. -My two year old always tells stories after school about all the fun activities during the day, and we get constant updates on the parent app about what are little ones are up to. Overall we are having a great experience, and I felt I needed to leave a review as I know how important this decision is for other parents searching for a good daycare. Tours are available for new parents that have questions and are looking for the right fit.

I can't say enough how much I value this Sunrise location. After having a bad experience with another big corporate daycare, it was urgent for us to get our 2 year old into a better school. The change we noticed in him was immediate. He no longer was screaming at drop off and instead is always so happy and excited to go see his teachers and friends. When we pick him up he is full of stories of all of the fun things he did in class that day. His behavior at home also improved tremendously which I do believe had a lot to do with the switch to Sunrise. We also recently enrolled our infant son at this location as well and have been so pleased with our experience. The infant room teacher is extremely caring and attentive to our 6 month old. The front staff are also always kind and helpful and know what's going on with our boys even though they're not in the classrooms. It feels amazing to finally trust and feel secure in the staff that is looking after your children. Highly recommend this Sunrise location!

The caring spirit of every teacher at this school has made our experience so wonderful! Every transition, every new developmental stage, these teachers scooped up my son and did their absolute best to make sure he and I were comfortable and happy. They have gone above and beyond to help my son learn and grow into a wonderful child. Carrie, Della, Shanta, Favi, Nanda, Suzie, Jalene, and so many more are the incredible teachers that have spoken into my child’s life. We would not be the same without the entire staff at this Sunrise Preschool location. SO THANKFUL for this Sunrise team!!!!!!!

We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful and caring daycare for our son.

We have only had positive interactions with all members of the teaching staff. The director Carrie is amazing, always helpful and quick to resolve any concerns my husband and I may have.

My sons have both gone to this school for the past 7 years. To say the staff has been amazing would be the understatement of the century. I know, CONFIDENTLY, that my son is taken care of. My son is looked after very attentively and even when life happens, Mrs. Carrie and the staff alert me to anything that happens while at school. I know the TLC they provide is the same they would show their own child. Bumps and bruises and kids biting is part of growing up, and while others who review the school will be quick to point that out, kids will be kids...Just know you will be alerted to each and every accident your child has, big or small. HIGHLY praise the staff, the curriculum, and cleanliness of this place. When others closed their doors during Covid, they did everything they could to ensure their location was safe and clean, so that parents could keep maintaining a level of normalcy during a far from normal time. Cannot give enough praise.

I have had a relationship with this Sunrise for just under 10 years. My daughters went here when they were little. When I had my son I had him at a place near my home but was not a good fit. I decided to bring him here since I know the staff as most are still here all these years later. My son loves coming to school every day and playing with his friends and seeing his teachers Miss Danielle, Miss Favi, Miss Maggie, Miss Susie and Miss Carrie and Miss Donna and Miss Jalean. He tells me about them every day. He works on art projects, plays outside, and they are awesome at potty training!! They also have an enriching curriculum. Miss Carrie is amazing, she has always been kind and compassionate and she loves her kiddos and she loves her teachers! The facility itself is always clean, the food is edible, and the teachers care about the kids. I love that I get pictures and the electronic updates is cool. I can't rave enough about this Sunrise!!! Schedule the tour, you'll be glad you did! They really do promote community and love without bounds!!

My son's have been going to this sunrise for 5 years. During this time we have seen changes in Sunrise, and all have proven to be for the better. Ms. Carrie is ALWAYS friendly and helpful. She greets my children with a warm hello everyday. Ms. Jessica has been one of the best school age teachers they have had. My kids really enjoy going to the after school program each day. There are many other great teachers that have had a positive impact on my children and given them the head start they needed to be successful in school. I would highly recommend sunrise to anyone looking. Thanks sunrise for all you have done!
