About

Welcome to Sunrise Preschools in Phoenix, where we pride ourselves on being a high-quality early learning center. My name is Kimberlena Rice, 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 and demanding a parent's role can sometimes be, especially as a working parent. 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 provide a safe environment and nurture your child on their learning journey while giving them the freedom to explore and develop in a warm and caring environment.

Feel free to stop in for a tour or call to speak with a team member. We look forward to the opportunity to build a long-lasting relationship with your family!

We as parents are very happy to have found a daycare that actually cares! When we have first come to the daycare the teachers were really fast to build positive connection to our child and that has happened in every age group our kid has been transferred to. The staff are always friendly
