Visit Us in Martinez

Community is at the heart of our Martinez school. It’s a warm, relationship-centered campus where children are encouraged to explore, create, build friendships and become more independent while still having the security of adults who know them well. Families aren’t simply dropping off and picking up—they become part of the life of the school. We’d love to welcome you in and show you around.

WELCOME

A Warm Welcome to Sunshine House Martinez

Every Sunshine House has its own personality, shaped by its teachers, children, families, and neighborhood. What they share is the warmth and experience that have defined Sunshine House for decades — long-term teachers, welcoming spaces, and a place where children are truly known.
