As of May 2020 so many things are up in the air. There is a good chance I may have a few openings when I am allowed to reopen. I am waiting on new regulations and policies from Early Education and Care to be announced. There could be so many changes to face - including less children allowed in care. Please email me if you would like to be added to an information list. I can notify you when I have more information.
Little Sunflowers is in a pretty good place when we are allowed to reopen. Childcare is in a completely separate space from my home; even a separate entrance. I have all the same children everyday, limiting exposure.

Much to my dismay I am horrible at returning phone calls. If you have left a phone message with a question, please email instead. I find it much easier to return emails. Thank you!

Preschoolers and Pre-K
Little Sunflowers incorporates a preschool curriculum into our daily activities for fun and to prepare the older children for school. Wendy is Preschool Teacher Certified and will use her knowledge, along with a professional preschool curriculum to help your child learn throughout the day. ALL of the advantages of a large preschool in a small exclusive environment with the individual attention and love your child deserves. All children will leave Little Sunflowers ready to enter Kindergarten! *Curriculum follows the Common Core Pre-K Standards. As a firm believer in young children needing freedom to play, explore and discover on their own as developmentally appropriate; learning takes place in a fun way at each child's pace.

| (Photo of Little Sunflowers Child in 2012) A typical day will have time for; reading stories, creating things with our hands, eating and sleeping and learning about ourselves, each other and the world around us. |

With our small group it's so easy (and fun) to specify the curriculum around the children's natural interests and curiosities.
