Meet the Owner
Tenika S. Bell
Owner
Is an early educator with over 20 years’ experience caring for young children.
Hello my name is Tenika and I am the owner of SonShine Christian Child Care. Even as a young child, I have had a passion for caring for children. I have volunteered and worked in different child care setting since 1995. I am a member of several local and state child care associations, the National Association of Family Child Care and the National Association of the Education for Young Children.
I am looking forward to working with your family.
Mission
“Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
(Proverbs 22:6)
The mission of SonShine Christian Child Care is to provide a loving, safe, stimulating Christian environment for young children to learn and grow in. I believe that children are God’s “littlest miracles”; helping them grow and learn is a divine privilege. Each child will have the opportunity to gain self- esteem, confidence, independence, and self- discipline at his or her own individual pace. Most importantly I will strive to give each child an awareness and knowledge of God’s love for them and His ultimate plan for their lives.
The ultimate mission of SonShine Christian Child Care is to reach out and touch the lives of the children and families of Kinston and Lenoir County and share God’s love and message with all who enter our
facility.
Vision
Our goal is to provide a Christian environment and program that is consistent with the highest standards, which will allow your child to develop to his/her full potential.
We will strive to create challenging opportunities for children, inspiring them to do great things.
Education Philosophy
SonShine Christian Child Care was established in 2001 to assist families in the training of their children as the Bible reveals, “….in the way they should go…” (Proverbs 22:6)
My program is planned to nurture the spiritual, cognitive, emotional, social, and physical needs of each child.
Some of my goals are to help children:
- Develop a love for learning, exploring, and hands on experiences
- Learn to participate in group activities, how to get along with others and develop a feeling of security
and belonging. - Build large and small muscle motor skills through fun activities.
- Develop a love for God through daily devotion time, Bible stories and songs.
- To teach children to love God with all their heart and to love others.
My goal is to provide a Christian environment and program that is consistent with the highest standards,
which will allow your child to develop to his/her full potential. I will strive to create challenging
opportunities for children, inspiring them to do great things.
I strongly believe that parents are an essential part of the educational process. In acknowledgment of this
important role, parent involvement is actively sought and strongly encouraged and always welcomed.
