Our Mission
Our mission is to inspire a lifelong love of learning, beginning in early childhood. We believe that with children feeling safe, heard, and free to explore, they grow up to be inquisitive thinkers, good friends, and confident problem solvers.
At Sunshine State Academy, learning begins with a sense of wonder. Through caring guidance and goal-driven play, children turn questions into discoveries and problems into growth. We raise them with skills – and a spark – that they will carry with them throughout their lives.
Our core value are:
Respect
We strive to foster an atmosphere where every person is treated with dignity and consideration.
Responsibility
We encourage everyone to take ownership of their behavior and its impact on others.
Relationships
We build a community where strong, caring connections help every child feel safe, seen, and supported.
