The Sunshine House Early Learning Center is a new childcare facility located at the Bucking Horse Development in east Fort Collins.  It has eleven classrooms and is licensed for 172 children, ranging from infants to school age.   The facility also includes a prep kitchen, director’s office, conference room and other smaller support spaces.  The main entry, classrooms and corridor access points of the building are all covered with the projecting roof elements that create sheltered and definable entries that add definition and articulation to the building’s facades.

The architectural design is based on a modern interpretation of agrarian vernacular, consistent with other buildings in the Bucking Horse development as well as the historic and newer buildings located at the Jessup Farm Artisan Village.
