Sunny Days Children Center In 2009, Jenny opened up Sunny Days Children’s Centre in Nashwaaksis, a lifelong dream of hers. The centre opened on July 5, 2009.

About Our Centre:

Sunny Days Children’s Centre History:
Sunny Days owner, Jenny Gaines-Rattray started caring for children when she first opened her first private daycare centre in her home in 2002. Over the years, Jenny gained a lot of experience, not only raising her own children, but caring for approximately six to eight other children at a time that spent their days at her home. The centre opened with 35 children, primarily under the age of 7. In July 2010, Jenny and her team expanded the centre to include an after-school program next door to the original centre. The after-school program became an instant success, attracting approximately 43 more children every afternoon. Now, Sunny Days Children’s Centre has become one of the larger and more successful childcare operations in the Fredericton area. Sunny Days is operated by a team of twenty two people, all dedicated to providing a caring and nurturing environment for its children and their families. We place high priority on valuing EACH child's well being , and respect their abilities & their differences. We make outdoor learning a BIG part of our day in one of our many outdoor play environments and we emphasize consistent and courteous communication

🍎What an amazing morning of apple picking! 🍏

We had such a wonderful time exploring everything Laughing Apple Farm had to offer! From picking our own apples and enjoying a fun wagon ride to exploring the gourd maze, sunflower maze, and amazing play area, there was something for everyone to enjoy! 🌻🍎

A huge thank you to all of our parents who came along and helped make the day extra special. We truly appreciate you joining us for these special experiences! ❤️

Laughing Apple Farms was so warm and welcoming, and they went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. Each child even got to take home their very own bag of apples! 🍎🥰

We had an absolute blast and are already looking forward to coming back next year! 🍂🍎

As we head into RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) season, it’s important to remember how vulnerable babies and toddlers are to illnesses. Their immune systems are still developing, which means something that seems like a mild cold for an adult could lead to serious complications for them.

Even the smallest gestures, like kissing a baby’s forehead or holding their tiny hand, can unintentionally pass along germs that their little bodies can’t fight off as easily. This isn’t about being overly cautious or dramatic; it’s about being mindful and protective of those who can’t protect themselves.

If you see a sweet baby or toddler this season, share your love with smiles, kind words, and gentle interactions, but avoid kisses if they’re not your own child. This simple act of care can make all the difference. It’s not about you… it’s about protecting their health ♥️

We will be closed on Wednesday, September 30th. 🧡🧡

This week, we celebrated a very special milestone!
10 years of Mallory at Sunny Days! 💛

From organizing the chaos of her classroom, to helping organize preschool graduation, and now taking on her new role as our Event Coordinator on top of it all, we truly don’t know what we would do without her!

Mallory, from all of us at Sunny Days, thank you for the countless hours, care, dedication, and commitment you have given to our centre and, most importantly, to all of the kiddos in your care over the past 10 years. Your hard work and heart do not go unnoticed! 🥳💛
