Sunny Child Care on Seaboard Avenue in San Jose is a CCLD-licensed center with 119-child capacity serving preschool-age through kindergarten-ready children, Monday–Friday 8:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The center operates a Mandarin-English bilingual immersion program with a play-first curriculum emphasizing STEAM, literacy circles, and social-emotional coaching—a high-demand offering for Silicon Valley families. Staff maintain a 1:6 ratio, and chef-designed daily menus with organic components, Brightwheel photo updates, and family-style meals reflect operational depth. An active Yelp community (41 parent photos) signals engaged families. The relatively recent licensing date suggests less established tenure compared to multi-decade operators in the market.
