About Us
A Home Away from Home for Your Little One
At Sunshine Family Day Care 2, we believe the best early learning happens where children feel most secure — in a warm, family-oriented setting that responds to their individual needs.
Located at 235 Farewell Ave in Fairbanks, our home-based day care offers a peaceful, homelike alternative to large commercial centers. With a small number of children and attentive caregivers, we create an environment where your child is truly seen, heard, and supported.
Our approach blends structured learning with free play, outdoor exploration, and creative activities — all tailored to your child's age, interests, and developmental pace. We partner closely with parents to ensure consistency between home and care, because we know you're your child's first and most important teacher.
