Caring Hearts Helping Little Minds Bloom

At Donna’s Kidz Sunflower Academy, we know that the people caring for your child matter just as much as the environment around them. Our team is committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and positive place where every child feels valued, encouraged, and loved.

Owner & Director

Meet the Owner Bernique McDowell

Hi! I’m Bernique, the proud owner and director of Donna’s Kidz Sunflower Academy. 🌻

I have more than 10 years of experience working with children, and caring for children has always been close to my heart. As a mother of three, I understand how important it is to find a childcare provider you can truly trust. I know parents want more than someone to simply watch their child—they want a safe, loving place where their child can learn, grow, play, and feel at home.


I created Donna’s Kidz Sunflower Academy to provide the type of childcare I would want for my own children. Our home daycare focuses on love, safety, learning through play, and building each child’s confidence. I believe every child deserves to be seen, encouraged, supported, and celebrated for who they are.


My goal is also to build strong relationships with families. When your child joins our daycare, I want you to feel comfortable knowing that we are working together to help your child grow and succeed.


Most importantly, there is one thing I never want a child in my care to question:

“Am I loved?”


At Donna’s Kidz Sunflower Academy, the answer will always be YES. 🌻💛

Assistant Director

Meet Brianna

My name is Brianna, and I am proud to serve as the Assistant Director at Donna’s Kidz Sunflower Academy. I am currently a nursing student and a proud mom of two girls. I have always had a love for children and enjoy being part of their journey as they learn, grow, and discover the world around them.


Donna’s Kidz Sunflower Academy holds a very special place in my heart because it honors the memory of my mother, Donna. Being part of the academy gives me the opportunity to help continue her legacy of love and care while creating a nurturing environment where every child can feel supported, valued, and encouraged to bloom.

Teacher

Meet Nia

My name is Nia, and I am a caring, patient, and compassionate teacher who enjoys supporting children and families. I am currently pursuing my education to become a nurse midwife, which reflects my passion for caring for others. At Donna’s Kidz Sunflower Academy, I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where every child feels valued, encouraged, and excited to learn, grow, and bloom. 

We look forward to partnering with your family and supporting your child’s journey as they learn, grow, and shine.


Bernique McDowell, Owner/Director

A Team You Can Trust

Every member of the Donna’s Kidz Sunflower Academy team is expected to meet applicable Alabama DHR licensing requirements. Staff requirements include criminal history background checks, child abuse and neglect clearances, and current CPR and First Aid certifications as required by DHR regulations. 


Our team also participates in orientation and ongoing training in areas including child growth and development, health and safety, positive guidance, developmentally appropriate practices, family engagement, cultural awareness, and professional responsibilities.

Substitute staff are held to the same requirements as the academy’s primary teachers. 


Together, we’re committed to helping every child feel at home as they learn, play, bloom, and grow.
