About
Sunshine Child Programs offers organized games, weekly field trips, arts and crafts, STEM activities, swimming and water park days, themed weeks, and quiet reading time. Campers are grouped by the grade level they are entering the next school year, and all campers take a swim test and receive color-coded wristbands (Red, Yellow, Green) for water access. Recreational campers swim at the YMCA, and some campers can join Super and Super Duper Field Trips, which are far-away trips offered at an additional cost and open to campers from any location.
• Ages: 5–12 years old
• Schedule: Most locations are open 7:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m., with all campers required to arrive by 8:45 a.m. for Recreational camp or 8:15 a.m. for CSC.
• Price: Sunshine does not offer daily rates for camp; payments are due the Friday before each week of camp, accounts are auto-charged, and if a child does not attend, the charge is removed at the end of the week.
Sunshine Child Programs is a not-for-profit, family-operated child care provider that has been offering school-age child care programs in Broward County since 1992. The organization provides a wide variety of educational and recreational activities in After School Care, No School Day, and Camp Programs and offers Recreational, Academic, and grant-funded camps. Sunshine Child Programs states that it does not discriminate based on race, religion, gender, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, or political orientation.
Staff members are at least 18 years old, college-aged, and background-cleared, and must complete 45 hours of state-mandated childcare training. All full-time staff are required to take 45 hours of Child Development coursework and receive certification for a Child Development Associate (CDA). Staff undergo Level 2 FBI background checks, extensive local and national screening performed by the FBI, drug testing, and fingerprinting, and are trained in CPR/First Aid, child abuse prevention, and water safety. Sunshine Child Programs provides a 1:20 staff-to-camper ratio.
The mission of Sunshine Child Programs is to have highly trained, professional staff who are cheerful, responsive, and nurturing and to create an environment where staff can stay motivated to continually create a positive and successful learning environment for the children in their care.
All programs are licensed and insured and operate under the policies and directives of the Division of Children & Family Services and the Broward County School Board. Sunshine Child Programs reports that since 1992 it has passed all licensing inspections and followed all guidelines for staff screenings. Its programs are recognized for meeting or exceeding the quality standards set by the Children and Family Services Licensing Department, the Broward County School Board, and the Broward County Children Services Council. Sunshine Child Programs is the 2026 South Florida Favorites winner for Best Summer Camp, Best Daycare, Favorite Customer Service, and Favorite Nonprofit Organization.
In partnership with the Broward School Board and Victory for Youth Services, meals are provided at most locations. Since 1992, Sunshine has been nominated year after year for The Broward County School Board’s Community Partnership of the Year Award and has received accolades and professional recognition from schools and communities for ongoing involvement at the school, district, and community levels.
Campers receive shirts on the first two days of camp during pick-up, and shirts must be worn on all field trips and over swimwear on water park days. Campers are asked to arrive with bathing suits under their clothes and bring a towel, a change of clothes, and labeled spray sunscreen in a bookbag. Campers may bring money on field trips for extra snacks or games, and parents can give money to front desk staff in a labeled bag for safekeeping. Sunshine Child Programs uses official Broward School buses for field trips, and CSC campers receive 6–7 weeks of lessons.
Parent and grandparent testimonials describe positive experiences with Sunshine Aftercare and camp at several elementary schools, including comments about planned daily activities during spring break, friendly staff, and children enjoying field trips such as movies and bowling. Some testimonials specifically mention children with special needs being understood and supported, staff being welcoming and professional, and individual staff members, such as Mr. Malik, making sure children are happy and safe.
