About Our Program

Sonshine Academy’s MDO program is called "Smart Steps" for a reason! We differ from other programs because our focus is movement-oriented learning.

Research shows that movement is a child’s preferred mode of exploring their world and that children learn best through active involvement. In other words, physical literacy leads to academic literacy.

Our program is led by Mrs. Brianna Kidd, a loving mother who holds a degree in Education from Arkansas State University. After college, she directed an after-school tutoring program for two years until her own babies came along.

She has spent the last five years homeschooling preschool through first grade. She has a 6-year-old dancer, a 5-year-old gymnast, and a busy toddler, all students at Sonshine! Mrs. Kidd and her experienced staff can't wait to help your child take smart steps toward a bright future!
