"Learning Through Play in a Nurturing Environment"

Sonlight Child Development Center is a ministry of Mequon United Methodist Church. Far from the noise of nearby busy streets, Sonlight Child Development Center is located on a quiet lane off of Mequon Road. We are still only ½ mile from Highway 43, a quick and easy access to downtown Milwaukee.

We serve families year round with children from 6 weeks through 5 years old, and our Center is licensed for 50 children. We offer morning preschool from 9:00am – 11:30am for children ages 3 through 5, Monday – Friday. Child care is available for children from 6 weeks through 5 years old, 7:00am – 6:00pm. Parents may choose the days and hours that work best for their child's permanent schedule.

Sonlight Center opened on September 2, 2008. We may be new, but our staff has over 100 years of combined teaching experience! We believe in hands-on, fun learning through play and interactive involvement with peers. We use developmentally appropriate curriculum and culturally diverse materials and activities. We offer a wonderful outdoor playground with several maintained nature trails. Our indoor fellowship hall provides an alternative play area for inclement weather.

Our very own “Nature Lady” enjoys taking our children on “field trips” through our on-site nature trails as part of our monthly curriculum. Our "Music Lady" provides a wonderful hands-on approach to music appreciation. We also have a weekly Computer Tots program for children over 2 years old through Computer Explorers, Inc.

We would love to give you the opportunity to experience Sonlight Child Development Center. Please call 262-242-4771 at your convenience to set up a tour and allow us to show you why we are so excited about our Center!

Looking forward to meeting you,

Special Features

Large, Secluded Playground: Sonlight offers our children a large playground, complete with a wooden play structure and several shade trees. A separate toddler playground is available for our younger children. The Marsh Meadow is located behind our playground, a wooded area with several chipped nature trails and a butterfly garden.

Nature Explorations with Our Very Own “Nature Lady”: To help the children learn and experience nature, Sonlight has a monthly visit from our “Nature Lady,” Mrs. Linda. “Each month, Sonlight children will be using their five senses to explore the wonders of nature in the Marsh Meadow behind Sonlight’s classrooms,” Mrs. Linda said. Her visits involve a story, craft, and special field trip on our nature trails, weather permitting.
