Bentonville Glass is partnering with
Sunshine School & Development Center to raise money for their school!
Through some of the month of May, we are partnering with Sunshine School & Development Center to do a fundraiser for their school. From May 1st-May 21st, we will give each customer 20% OFF TINT AND FILM services if they show us their donation to Sunshine School & Development Center!
Sunshine School & Development Center has been serving NWA for over 60 years. The inaugural class was held in the basement of the First United Methodist Church in Rogers and consisted of two children, one with Down Syndrome and the other with a severe brain injury resulting in developmental delays. In 1958 the public education system didn’t have a place for children with special needs. The families of these two children – the Clardys and the Brileys – needed a place for their own children to learn, so they started Sunshine School. Mrs. Clardy and Mrs. Briley were the teachers. By the end of the first month, six more children had joined.
In 1991 the public school system began integrating children with developmental delays into the classrooms. In response, the Sunshine School started to focus on programs which included Early Intervention, Community Support and a Preschool Center. These programs catered to individuals in the Northwest Arkansas community of ALL ages with developmental delays. The school continued to grow exponentially and soon outgrew its facilities. Once again, through the generosity and care of the community, another facility was funded. In January 2007 the agency moved to the current 40,000 square foot facility where over 500 people a year are helped. To better reflect the diversity of the ages and the abilities of the clients served now, the name of the agency was changed to the Sunshine School & Development Center in 2013.
