"My son Cody and my daughter Sierra have both spent their most formative years in Sylvie's expert care.  Not only has Sylvie helped my children grow and learn beyond expectations, she has helped my wife and me to be more positive and powerful forces in our children's lives.  Spacious, inviting and lacking nothing, an inquisitive mind needs to embrace each new day. Sylvie has created a space where children can choose to immerse themselves in classic Montessori works of all kinds, engage positively with each other, and even participate in growing their own food and managing their own worm farm."

Sylvie goes above and beyond for the children.  She not only teaches and cares for them in a warm, attentive and professional manner while they are at school, she also regularly provides parents information on how to better assist the children in becoming independent, secure, and happy kids.  It is clear she genuinely cares about each child and their accomplishments.

This was one of the few places I found that offers some excellent pre-school structure for toddlers who are not yet 2. Sylvie believes (and I've come to agree) that that 16 to 24 month-olds can really benefit from the consistency of the routine. It's also a great opportunity for the 3-year-olds to help with the younger ones. Our daughter joined at 17 months and thrived from the start. I  like that Sylvie uses sign language with the kids; an added plus for anyone who used baby sign with their children.

We are so blessed to have found Sunnyside. Sylvie has made my son's first school experience positive, fun and like an extension of home with us. She offers great advice on positive parenting approaches too, so we have managed typical developmental things with more grace because of her compassionate insights. She serves healthy meals, maintains age-appropriate structure and routine, but offers enough novelty that our son skips into school every day with pride to be there. We love Sunnyside so much, we are sending our baby daughter there next, the second she turns 15 months old! Thank you, Sylvie, for helping to build such a solid foundation for such precious lives.

We love Sunnyside! Sylvie has been very helpful with giving advice on different parenting issues that have come up. She even let me know when our daughter was ready to start potty training and helped us accomplish that. I can't say enough good things about the school. Our daughter even comes home singing songs in French!
