After 38 years at its location in the University Hill area, Sunshine House Montessori Preschool will be closing permanently at the end of the month.
Morgia Holmes enrolled two of her kids in Sunshine House since she moved to Boulder from Boston five years ago. The man they were buying their house from had children in high school who had gone to Sunshine House and loved it. He told Holmes he knew the director well and it was something she should consider.
Eric Zale also has a son enrolled in Sunshine House. Zale said the school has been great for his son and feels he’s been thriving since he started there. “Schools are dropping like flies,” Beardsley said. “Any school that wants to continue and is forced to close, for whatever reason, I think is very sad.”
Sunshine House does not participate in the UPK program, and because of that, Hebein said she believes the school may have lost some kids.
