About Us

A Home Away From Home, Where Every Child Shines

Annies Little Sunshines is more than just a daycare — it's a place where children are treated like family. Located on a quiet street in Paris, Illinois, our licensed home setting offers the warmth and consistency that young children need to thrive.

We believe that the earliest years shape everything that follows. That's why every activity, every interaction, and every moment is thoughtfully designed to support your child's social, emotional, and cognitive development — all within a safe, structured, and loving environment.

What We Offer

Programs Designed Around Your Child's Needs

From infant care to preschool readiness, we provide age-appropriate programming that supports every stage of early development.

Infant Care

Gentle, responsive care for your youngest children. We focus on building secure attachments through consistent routines, tummy time, and sensory play in a calm, nurturing setting.

Toddler Programs

Active, exploratory days built around your toddler's natural curiosity. We support language development, social skills, and independence through guided play and creative activities.

Preschool Prep

Building the skills your child needs for school success. We introduce early literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional learning through hands-on, play-based experiences.

After-School Care

A welcoming space for school-age children after the final bell. Homework help, snacks, outdoor play, and structured activities keep your child safe and engaged until you arrive.

Holiday & Break Care

When school is out and you're still working, we've got you covered. Fun, supervised days filled with seasonal activities, crafts, and games your children will love.

Custom Scheduling

Full-time, part-time, or drop-in — we work with your family's schedule. No rigid commitments, just reliable care that fits your life.
