Statement of Philosophy
Our purpose here at Sonrise Christian Day School is to help make sure that early childhood be a time of fun, warmth, security, exploration, and discovery.  Preschool children are naturally creative and receptive.  Our staff will help nurture and encourage these qualities in the children who attend.
The school is conducted on a non-profit but self-sustaining basis.  Sonrise is an equal opportunity care provider. Admissions, the provision or services, and the referrals of employees shall be made without regard to race, color, religious creed, handicap, ancestry, national origin, age or sex.  Program services shall be made accessible to eligible handicapped employees through the most practical and economically feasible methods available.  These methods include, but are not limited to, equipment redesign, the provision of aids, and the use of alternative service delivery locations.  Structural modifications shall be considered only as a last resort among available methods.  No denominational emphasis is made even though the school is a ministry of Linwood Heights United Methodist Church.  We accept children from 6 weeks to 5 years of age.  Classes are filled on a first-come-first-serve basis according to the date of enrollment by the director.   If the classes are filled when a parent calls, the child’s name will be placed on a waiting list.
Sonrise has a 4 star rating from Keystone STARS.
