Igniting Young Minds for Future Success

We believe that every child possesses unique strengths and interests, and our dedicated staff works tirelessly to build a solid foundation for their holistic development. From stimulating language and literacy activities to fostering social skills and encouraging creative expression, we are passionate about equipping our little learners with the tools they need to become educational warriors and build a brighter future.
Welcome to Sunrise Smart Start, ELC, where your child's well-being and development are our top priorities. As the Director and owner, I, Ms. Patty, bring a wealth of experience and a deep-rooted connection to the community as a Native Detroiter.
A Native detroiter's Passion for Child Development
Having attended Northwestern High School and served in the U.S. Navy from 1978 to 1992, I understand the importance of discipline, structure, and compassion in shaping young minds. After my honorable discharge, I embarked on a career in Law as a legal secretary, honing my organizational and communication skills for 14 more years. However, my true passion has always been working with children and families. In 2007, I decided to follow my heart, retiring from my legal career and opening Sunrise Smart Start, ELC. With my dedicated and experienced staff, we create a warm, loving environment where children can feel safe, appreciated, and empowered.
