In Toy Story 3, what is the name of the daycare center?

The story behind the answer

In Toy Story 3, the daycare center is called Sunnyside Daycare.

Andy’s toys arrive there after a misunderstanding: Andy’s mother takes a bag of toys meant for storage to the curb, and the toys assume they have been discarded. They then choose donation to Sunnyside, believing it offers a welcoming new home.

At first, Sunnyside appears bright and generous. Lotso, the teddy-bear leader, presents it as a place where toys can be loved by children every day. The reality is darker: Andy’s toys are assigned to the rough toddler room, while Lotso and his followers control the older children’s room. The daycare therefore becomes the film’s central setting and a symbol of false promises.

A common mix-up is confusing Sunnyside Daycare with Bonnie’s house, where Woody later finds a safer and more loving environment. Pixar researched real Bay Area childcare facilities to make Sunnyside’s layout and child-sized details believable.
