Who We Are:

Sunny Days Preschool provides a safe, fun, and caring learning environment where young children can explore and grow. Founded in 2005, Sunny Days is an NPS (non-public school) and CCL-certified preschool. Our progressive, inclusive program for 2.5 – 5.9 year-olds supports children on the autism spectrum, neuro-typical children, and those needing a little extra support in a responsive and nurturing environment. We have a highly trained, energetic staff and offer a developmentally appropriate, responsive approach to child growth. Sunny Days is licensed by the State of California Department of Social Services, Facility Number 434414613. We work directly with families and school districts interested in sending their students to our program.

STUDIES SHOW THAT early participation in a preschool setting is the key to enabling all children to thrive. We believe every moment is an opportunity for learning. Our play-based curriculum offers a safe first step into the social environment and encourages individual growth and development. Classes provide individualized attention to support each child’s emerging communication and learning skills. Activities focus on language development, motor skills, music, movement, and play-based experiences. We work on self-regulation, social skill development, sensory integration, and language skills. Early literacy and numeracy skills are encouraged for older children through informal, experiential learning and play.

Pricing and Tuition

Monthly fees to attend the preschool are based on an annual calendar, and all closures and holidays are considered. A 1:1 instructional aide is available for those children who require 1:1 support for an additional fee.

Speech, Occupational, and Behavioral Therapy Services

For an additional fee, PACE provides Speech Therapy and Occupational Therapy for preschool – elementary-aged children. These services are offered on-site at our Sunny Days location in west San Jose. Children do not need to be in our preschool program to receive these services offered by licensed staff.

Speech Therapy

Speech Therapists evaluate and treat those who are challenged in speech and language development to help improve students’ overall communication skills. Our Speech-Language Pathologists (SLP) assess language skills, cognitive and social communication, oral motor skills, and feeding skills. The SLP seeks to identify specific communication problems such as articulation, fluency, voice, and receptive and expressive language disorders and the best ways to treat them.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapists increase the participation in and performance of daily activities meaningful and useful to the client. Our Occupational Therapists (OT) work on fine and gross motor skills, sensory integration, sensory processing disorders, attention and regulation, and oral-motor development.

ABA Therapy (Applied Behavior Analysis)

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is used to treat a wide variety of behavioral challenges and helps develop school readiness. Currently, these services are offered on-site at our preschool location in West San Jose by appointment. Children do not need to be in our preschool program to receive these services offered by licensed staff.

• Intensive one-on-one ABA therapy is available through our Faces Program.
• We offer therapy on-site in our clinic with limited options for home-based therapy.
• ABA can be the primary focus or supplement other therapy programs.
