Sunflower Nursery and Preschool programs are loving, play-centered programs designed to meet the developmental needs of young children in a home-like setting.

 

The Nursery and Preschool offer a peaceful, uncluttered environment filled with simple, natural playthings: smooth river stones, driftwood, moss-covered bark, tree stumps, and oak, birch, and cherry logs. Brightly colored play cloths, movable play stands, soft cloth dolls, big pillows, and a play kitchen all provide many happy hours of creative play.

 

Domestic life serves as the background for our preschool daily rhythm. Daily activities will include circle time, artistic activities, creative play indoors and outside, snack time, story time, and lunch time.

 

In a gently structured way, children will be provided with the opportunity to paint, draw, bake, cook, garden, and contribute to the daily domestic chores throughout the week. Through the course of the year, we will celebrate the changing seasons together with songs, games, and seasonal activities

 

A sense of security and a reverence for nature grow out of these daily, weekly, and seasonal rhythms and celebrations.
