Powered by GoogleMy review is based on summer camp only. My son loved it, and every day was an adventure for him! We loved the location - so close to everything, yet so remote! His favorite thing was going to the forest, but loved all the other activities and animals as well. Heidi, Don, and all the team were fantastic. My son always felt welcomed and liked, and communication was great! It does get really hot in the Triangle, but they are really mindful of the heat and make sure that kids stay hydrated and stay cool. My son is especially excited for when he's old enough for archery and lake days
My pig-loving daughter wanted to celebrate her 9th birthday at Sun Star Farm, and we had a fantastic experience. Due to predictions of storms + hail + tornados, we had to move the time/day of the party last minute, and Heidi was INCREDIBLY accommodating. We've spent a lot of time on petting farms near the triangle, and Sun Star is my favorite by far. Kids and parents all had a wonderful evening enjoying the beautiful space Heidi has created. Highly recommend!
Can’t say enough about this beautiful farm and it’s wonderful family! We had my daughter’s birthday party and it was one word: magical. Miss Heidi is excellent with the kids and was a fabulous host. They really respond to her and listen! She was just terrific. The grounds are excellent with lots of space to play, swings, there houses, digging pit with plenty of shade. Animals were a blast and the area to hold the party has all the amenities you need for tons of kids. We had great shelter from some rain and that only added to the specialness - the kids loved running in the rain! You won’t be disappointed. Really happy we had our party w Sun Star Farms!
Enrolling our daughter here has been an absolutely amazing experience! I cannot speak highly enough of Heidi and her approach with not only watching after the kids, but also fostering their creativity, and helping them grow in so many ways. SunStar offers a calm, safe and loving environment for kids to learn and discover the world and I feel our daughter's life has been truly enriched by attending.
Sun Star Family Farm is a wonderful, enriching experience for children. My daughter attends the preschool, run by Ms. Heidi, and I have nothing but glowing reviews for the quality of care. The children get to play outside, build strong social skills, interact with gentle, clean farm animals, and overall have a blast! We especially love the cute baby goats, squirmy guinea pig, and gorgeous horses. In addition to the top notch day-to-day care, Ms. Heidi is constantly event planning for the children and families. Christmas, Thanksgiving, May Day, St. Patricks Day, etc, etc. are always fun and special holidays for the children. Games, crafts, fresh foods, time honored cultural rituals, special guest appearances of Santa, good company...I could go on and on about the great social events! Last but not least, I fell I should mention that the preschool philosophy is based on the Waldorf method of teaching, and it was an excellent way to help my daughter 'come out of her shell.' She was very shy when she started the school, but with Ms. Heidi's loving, gentle guidance and a homey, warm environment, my daughter is now a social butterfly, ready to take on kindergarten. For children who are naturally social, Waldorf seems a fantastic fit, but for kids like mine who need a bit of help learning how to interact socially, Sun Star Family Farm is a blessing!
