Sunshine School (Ages 3-5)

Sunshine School (Ages 3-5)

Our Goal

At Sunshine School, our goal is to provide a nurturing environment where children can thrive as curious learners. We support their development through play-based learning, expressive arts, and the building of social skills.

Our Learning Approach

Children will develop foundational skills in letter and number recognition through engaging, hands-on experiences. We create a dynamic learning environment by introducing monthly themes that spark curiosity and allow children to explore topics based on their shared interests. Our classroom is designed with intentional learning stations that encourage creativity, discovery, and meaningful play. Daily circle time encourages group participation and provides a supportive space for children to share ideas, strengthening their confidence and communication skills.

Our Families
Families are valued partners in our learning community. Each class participates in two family field trips each year. One in the fall and one in the spring, to build relationships and extend learning beyond the classroom. We believe that strong connections between home and school helps create a supportive and enriching experience for every child.
