Sunrise Preschools

if I could give zero stars that's what I would do. everytime I pick up or drop off my son, the teacher is sitting on her phone or the tablet. I've gotten calls to pick up my son for either him getting hit and having an open wound or him biting and leaving a wound. if the teachers had there eyes on the one year olds like they are suppose to then the kids wouldn't be getting hurt. I don't trust this daycare. There job is to protect our children an help guide them into better choices. 1 year olds are in a phase they are learning right from wrong and they just sit there in there tablet tell they hear someone crying and then jump up confused because they don't even know what happen. Joanne is a horrible manager and talks to people rude. she runs a business but cusses and uses street language when talking to people to try building a bond an it just makes her look pathetic. I'm so glad I found another daycare to take my kids too. this location is trash .

I am livid. For the past 8 months my 2 year old has been attending Sunrise Preschool and for the past 8 months she has been getting bitten almost monthly. There was a point in time a few months ago where she was getting bitten at least once a month every other month by the same kid in her class. The school will not tell me who this other kid is, I don't know if they have told the other childs parents, they won't give me any information, but after today i am LIVID. My child was bitten 3 times in one day at the Sunrise Preschool on Thomas Ave in Avondale. I contacted CPS regarding this daycare center and I will be contacting police as well.

They were extremely supportive of all of our children. They were friendly and kept our kids safe. If we lived closer, we would've kept them there.

I wish I can give it zero stars but I gave it 1 so parents can hear me out.

I went with a friend she was dropping her son off for the first day and as we walked in all I heard was kids crying from the left and to the right of me which is not a good first impression.

What got my attention was the infant room. I saw an infant boy on his back screaming at the top of his lungs and his face bright red. I was concerned. There was one teacher in there and I notice about 2 infants total. I timed her to see if she will notice the poor boy. It took about 15 mins until my gut couldn't take it anymore. I had to mention it to the front desk and so I did.

What shocked me was as I mentioned it to the front office they started to argue with me. I looked puzzled "Why are you arguing with me for being a concerned mother?" her argument was that the teacher has been there for 6yrs and she leaves he granddaughter there blah blah but then she said "kids get red when they cry, you know?" I looked at her and said to myself not my 3yr old.

Luckily my friend was dropping her son off in the toddlers room and he was doing fine or I would've of told her no lets go.

***Please parents, guardians for what this review is worth please call in to the daycare, make unplanned visits make sure your child is safe.

My infant attends this facility and we love it. The staff is friendly and we like the care givers. I'd give it 5 stars if it was in a better neighborhood. I checked the inspection records for the all centers we were considering and sunrise was the best in that regard.

Pros:
Great staff
Lovely, bright room
They make sure they get lots of tummy time
They provide food and formula (you make bottles)
They give a thorough report at the end of the day, including tips to help such as how to get through teething
They have a storage room for car seats

Cons:
Near a not so great neighborhood.
Caregiver/child ratio could be better. Usually 4 to 1 but I've seen it at 5 to 1 in the infant room. Similar to most centers but of course I'd prefer lower.

**Do not bring your kids here****I wish I could give negative stars. .. my daughter enrolled my 1yr old grandson and on his 1st day got bit.. not once.. not twice but 3 TIMES. now I know kids are kids but where the heck was the supervision.. 3 TIMES!!! My daughter was NOT called and notified until she called herself to check in on Him. When asked to see the footage they refused. The report is different than the account of the footage. The report states the worker seen it happen (3bites!) And the explanation from corporate states the worker went inside and left him unattended.. a 1 YEAR OLD! Some thing is not right! We will not let this go. My poor grandson has 3 bite bruises with teeth marks so he was bitten hard! Understood, it was a kid.. that happens ONCE! NOT 3TIMES. SMH****BEWARE***

Love love love this location- especially the assistant manager Jo! Really attentive staff that always has a smile on their face when we walk through the door. My son absolutely adores his teacher and I truly feel like he's being prepared for kindergarten, he comes home and talks my ear off about all the new things he's learning. He will be 3 in April and he can recognize letters, numbers and colors. Thank you Sunrise!

This place is horrible! My daughter left my granddaughter there 1 day and that was enough to see the inattentive uncaring attitude of staff in the infant room. We transfered her from another Sunrise in Tempe and didn't have a problem there. Bottles were full even though the check out paper claimed they fed her. This is a baby we are talking about. Lord knows what else happened but my granddaughter was traumatized when my daughter picked her up. My daughter had to quit after her first day at work as a result. No Income Is Worth that!

I love and appreciate this school. Megan the director, Christina my son's newest teacher and Delia his former teacher are so warm and caring. I feel my son is safe and cared for so well here. Great school!

BEWARE OF THIS HORRIBLE PLACE. For all the parents who love their children as much as I do stay away from this place. So I brought my baby and on the first day he gets injured due to negligent supervision. They failed to contact me when the incident occurred. I called just to check in on him and they told me he was hurt. And the response I got from the employee was "that usually happens to the new kids". PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD PARENTS!!!!!
