Meet Our Director, Natalie Pouncy
Hi, I'm Natalie Pouncy, and I have been with The Sunshine House Early Learning Academy since 2013. I am from a small town in Marlboro County. I received my Associate's Degree in Early Childhood Education from Northeastern Technical College, and I am currently pursuing my Bachelor's degree.
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. Children are my passion, and I believe all children deserve every opportunity to receive quality care and education. Learning begins at a very young age, and I believe that we set the foundation as early childhood educators. Motivating and stimulating children's minds will only increase their desires and capacity to learn.

We know everyone’s schedule is different, and our goal is to be here when our families need us. Please contact our school for the most up-to-date availability of part-time or drop-in care.
