Great Days at Sunshine Village

The world of Sunshine Village is so important to the parents who send their adult children off each day. We recognize this, and our continual goal, our unwavering promise and the gold standard we strive for is: Make every day a great day. In all of our programs and at each of our locations, Sunshine Village provides opportunities to live and learn, work and earn, give and grow.

We believe great days are made up of small moments that hold the potential for the largest of triumphs. A great day might take shape at work, at that moment when a co-worker says “thank you” for a job well done. It might happen the moment a ripe carrot is plucked from the ground, after being tended for weeks. It could come at the end of the day, when two friends hug good-bye before exchanging an enthusiastic “See you tomorrow.”

Another GREAT day at Sunshine Village!

Corinne, our Community Relations Manager, welcomed 22News Meteorologist Brian Lapis, Dave Kostecki (Creative Services), and Deb Houle (Programming/Production) from WWLP-22News for a special Lunch & Learn with CBDS clients from Chicopee, Agawam and Three Rivers!

Clients asked insightful questions about science, weather, and what it takes to work in broadcast television.

One big takeaway? Teamwork and GREAT communication skills make all the difference in the workplace.

Thank you, 22News, for sharing your time, talent, and career wisdom with us! You SHINE!

Some of our GREAT days include getting creative in the kitchen! 🍴

At our Three Rivers program, clients recently prepared a chicken fajita bake—and took pride in every step, from prepping to plating. Sharing the experience (and the taste test!) with friends made it even more special.
