Our mission
Our Daycare focuses on key elements that contribute to a child’s development.
Our Mission at Little Rays Of Sunshine is to provide each child with a nurturing, loving, fun, and safe environment where they are given the opportunity to learn and grow at their own pace as individuals.
Our goal is to promote early learning with a focus on each child's social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development as well as provide peace of mind to parents that their child is being cared at a professional level.
Each child is treated with kindness, understanding, patience, and positive reinforcement.
We are open Monday - Friday
8:00 am - 5:30 pm
Extended hours available upon request.
7:00 am - 6:30 pm
For more information please contact us
We speak both English and Spanish
Activities
Music
We use music to incorporate learning, discover their musical talents, and create a fun atmosphere of singing and dancing to the rhythms.
Arts & Crafts
Your child is a potential art genius. We engage them in drawing, sketching, coloring, and producing their own art projects you will surely be proud of.
Language
We are a dual language program (English and Spanish).
Dramatic Play
We encourage our kids to play and make their own roles. These are great opportunities for increasing their social interactions with friends.
Outdoor Play
Weather permitting, we are outside at the park every day. We give every child the chance to interact with nature and develop their appreciation for its beauty and significance.
Group Play
Our philosophy is that group play is the best way for them to grow through social interaction with their peers.
Free Play
Children are supplied with safe toys they can use to enjoy their free play time while being supervised at a distance. Observations on any change in behaviors, and how they socialize with peers during free time will be actioned.
Story Time
This activity stimulates their imagination, develops their creativity, and allows them to mold dreams of their own.
Meal Time
We cook and prepare well balanced nutritious meals for breakfast, lunch, and snack time. We follow the requirements of the New York City Food Program.
We utilize mealtime to instill in children the long term benefits and the joy of healthy eating habits.
We make a special effort to encourage the children to sample new foods and cultivate a taste for those that are nutritionally beneficial. All meals are served in a family-style manner.
Testimonials
“We love LRS! Our daughter Miranda has been going there for the past months and she enjoys it so much. She is learning new skills, socializing, and eating healthy home-made food all through a bilingual experience and a loving environment. Christina, Miss Ari, and the entire staff are wonderful people.”

“We were so thrilled with LROS. We enrolled our daughter at 6 months and only left because we moved. Christina and her team are so loving, caring, and creative. Isla has really thrived in the last year and a half and is already counting, saying the alphabet, and singing countless songs. We will really miss the LROS community and highly recommend them to all families.”
