Every parent wants to know that their child is safe and well-cared for during the day while they are at work. It's important to feel that their child is in good hands, that they are learning and exploring and having fun.
This is how Cristine Thibodeau feels too and that's why she makes it her mission at the Soleil Early Learning Academy that every child is happy and learning and every parent feels secure leaving their little ones at this beautiful daycare oasis in east Boynton Beach.
Soleil has a cheery and pleasant feeling from the moment you are welcomed into the front door.
This newly expanded Early Learning Academy grew from the beloved Boynton Beach Day Care – a home daycare for infants and toddlers that have been operating in our community for years.

They have a huge outside play area, shaded with a large tree in the middle, lots of grass, multiple playhouses and structures, 2 shaded picnic tables, and ample room to run and play!
Kids have the freedom to use their imagination and the room to run and burn off energy! At this age, play is their job and Soleil offers a large and inviting (and safe) space to do exactly that.
Soleil has a lower teacher/student ration then is required by the state. This offers the opportunity to give children individualized attention as well as encouraging group learning and interactive play.
One of the many little touches that Soleil offers to families that sets this daycare apart from the others is the constant, 2-way communication between school staff and parents. Utilizing an app called Brightwheel; parents are kept updated throughout the day with pictures and anecdotes of what their children are doing while at school. This is also an easy and effective way to respond to the needs of families directly.
