Privacy
Your family’s information deserves thoughtful care.
This policy explains what Sunny Days collects through its website and connected services, why it is used, and the choices available to families.
Last updated September 28, 2026
Where this policy applies
This Privacy Policy applies to the Sunny Days Daycare website, direct communications with our team, and any Sunny Days family portal we provide. Separate providers—including Brightwheel and Microsoft Bookings—apply their own privacy policies when you use their services.
Information we collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
- Your name, email address, phone number, and the content of your inquiry.
- Tour details submitted through Microsoft Bookings, such as your selected time and contact information.
- Enrollment and waitlist information submitted through Brightwheel, including information about your child that you choose to provide.
- Family-portal information, when applicable, such as account details, child records, attendance, authorized pickup information, documents, consent records, and messages.
- Basic technical information generated when the site is used, such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, the site that led you here, and security or error logs.
How we use information
We use information to:
- Respond to questions and schedule center tours.
- Review waitlist and enrollment needs, including your child's age and preferred schedule.
- Provide childcare services and communicate with authorized family members.
- Keep safety, attendance, consent, billing, and business records.
- Run, protect, fix, and improve our website and services.
- Understand which public pages are most helpful to families.
- Follow legal, licensing, accounting, and safety rules.
When information is shared
We do not sell or rent personal information. We may share information with authorized Sunny Days staff and companies that help us run the center and website, including hosting, Google Analytics, Microsoft Bookings, Brightwheel, communications, payment, and document storage. We may also share information when you ask us to, give us permission, or when the law requires it to protect a child, another person, Sunny Days, or our community.
Website visits and Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics on public pages to count visits and understand which pages people find helpful. Google Analytics stores a small file called a cookie in your browser to tell one visit from another. We do not send names, email addresses, or child records to Google Analytics. We have turned off Google features that use this information for personalized advertising.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser. You can also use the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Google explains how it handles information on its privacy page.
Children’s information
This website is intended for parents, guardians, prospective employees, and other adults; it is not directed to children. Information about a child should be submitted only by an authorized adult through the designated enrollment or family-service channel. Please do not send sensitive medical or identity information through ordinary email or social media.
Official child and family records may also be governed by enrollment agreements, center policies, and applicable Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care requirements.
How long we keep information and how we protect it
We keep information only as long as needed to provide care, maintain required business or childcare records, resolve problems, and follow the law. We use workplace, technology, and building security measures to protect it. No online system can be completely secure.
Your choices
You may ask to review or correct contact information held directly by Sunny Days, request that we stop optional messages, or ask how long information is kept or whether it can be deleted. Some records must be kept for licensing, safety, agreement, or legal reasons. Requests involving Brightwheel or Microsoft Bookings may also need to be made through those services.
Services run by other companies
Our website links to or embeds services operated by other organizations. Their privacy, security, availability, and accessibility practices are controlled by them. Review their policies before submitting information.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy as our services or legal obligations change. The date above shows the latest revision. Questions or privacy requests may be sent to info@winthropdaycare.com or mailed to Sunny Days Daycare, 181 Winthrop St, Winthrop, MA 02152.
