Sunnyside Daycare



Sunnyside Daycare Center is the child care facility where the toys from Andy's room get donated to in Toy Story 3.

History
Sunnyside Daycare was once a great place for toys to be played with until Lotso, a pink stuffed bear, arrived after being replaced by his original owner, Daisy. He turned Sunnyside into a place where only some toys got the priviledge of being played with by nicer kids while the rest, especially Andy's toys, were subjected to being abused and beaten by toddlers. He only let toys that he thought were special into a better part of Sunnyside which was almost a paradise for toys. Sometime after Lotso was done away with, Ken and Barbie revolutionized Sunnyside and became its new leaders. They restored the daycare center to its original greatness, and even warmly welcomed toys such as Emperor Zurg and three of the Green Army Men (including Sarge) to their home.

Establishment
Sunnyside was a bright building with a rainbow in the doorway that was made up of many different rooms, dividing the different aged kids. The Butterfly Room was where the older kids being taken care of were kept. They were civilized and knew how to play peacefully with their toys. This is where most donated toys were dropped off originally. The Butterfly Room had boxes full of scraps and spare parts in case any toys were broken and was also the room where Ken's Dreamhouse was. Younger children and toddlers were kept in the Caterpillar Room, and this is where Lotso and his gang brought new toys so they themselves would not have to be mishandled by the toddlers. There was a Vending Machine down the hall from the Caterpillar Room where Lotso and his evil accomplices would have secret meetings at night and gamble as well. Sunnyside Daycare was complete with a playground and a garden, as well as a trash chute that led to a dumpster outside of the facility.
