About
Welcome to Sunrise Preschools in Mesa, where we pride ourselves on being a high-quality early learning center. My name is Sabrina Felix, 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 with a smile on their faces. We know that early education plays an integral role 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. All of 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!

The staff seemed engaged with the children and were genuinely happy. Also, this was the first preschool that didn't smell like poop.

When there are changes were notified with plenty of notice. And anytime there’s something that’s happened like an injury on the face. I get a phone call to explain and let me know.
