WHY CHOOSE SUNNY’S Pre-School

  1. We firmly believe a child wasn’t meant to sit in a classroom for 8 hours a day. At Sunny’s, we make sure our students play! Research shows that play has the amazing benefit of creating a safe space for children to engage and interact with the world around them, promoting their natural curiosities and problem-solving skills.
  2. We focus on kindergarten readiness by combining social-emotional learning with sports and our engaging academic curriculum. By focusing on the health and happiness of the whole child, we provide the foundation for their future success in school and beyond.
  3. We hold our staff to high standards. They are trained to create moments of learning in everyday activities and to support early literacy through open-ended questions and conversation.
  4. We know parents are the cornerstone of a child’s education. We believe in the importance of connecting families to what their child is learning and have an open-door policy for all parents.
  5. At Sunny’s Preschool, families have access to our cameras 24/7. Parents can have peace of mind knowing that they can check in on their child at any moment throughout the day.
  6. We believe in supporting the whole child, which is why we incorporate Conscious Discipline into our teaching strategies. Using this Social-Emotional strategy, we know how to turn difficult situations into teachable moments. Children learn communication skills needed to manage themselves, resolve conflicts, and develop healthy behavior.

About our Curriculum

We use McGraw-Hill’s Early Childhood Express because it supports our mission of focusing on whole child education. It nurtures children’s learning in Math, Science, Early Literacy, Arts, and Social Studies, while also supporting their Social-Emotional growth and using Imaginative Play to build on learned concepts. Though we have the curriculum as a framework for learning, our teachers know that the best way to educate a child is to keep them engaged and interested. Which is why we remain flexible and responsive to the evolving interests that arise within our Preschool. This approach allows us to create a dynamic and authentic learning experience, where children can fully engage and embrace the wonders of education.

A day in the life of a Pre-schooler

8:30AM
Start of day / drop off / free play

9:00AM
Rug Time: Where we “calibrate” for the day. Providing valuable social interaction, introducing concepts and creating community within the classroom.

9:30AM
Sports: Children will rotate through one of the six gym areas in our facilities. Early introduction to sports helps build the gross motor skills that will support fine motor skills for writing, as well as create a child who is confident in their own body. The sports areas include Sun Gym, Pre-School Gym, Rockwall, NinjaZone, Bounce Houses and Dance.

10:00AM
Snack time

10:30AM
Outside Free Play: Students spend at least 30 minutes every day outside either on the playground, or doing sensory play with water, chalk or bubbles.

11:00AM
Classroom Centers: This is when children will engage in their Math, Science, Social Studies, Art or Imaginative Play for the day. Teachers set up three areas the children will rotate through that will build on the theme of the week. For example, they may use tactile numerals to sort for their math center or play a game of Dominoes with letter sounds to support early literacy.

12:00PM
Lunch

12:30PM-1:30PM
Quiet time for non-nappers. They may look at books, color, build with blocks or engage in free play. Just some quiet time to decompress in the middle of the day.

12:30PM-2:00PM
Nap time for those who still nap.

1:30PM-2:00PM
Sports: Children will participate in a different sport for the day.

2:00PM-3:00PM
Large Group Learning: Students will engage in teacher-led learning. Whether it’s playing letter games, engaging in a read-aloud, or practicing social-emotional skills, students will continue building on the concepts presented during rug time.

End of day / pick-up

Director of Sunny’s Pre-School

I first worked at Sun Country from 2006 to 2015 as a Pre-School Gymnastics Coach before becoming a Pre-Kindergarten Teacher and eventually, the Director, at a local daycare. I jumped at the opportunity to return to Sun Country in 2023 as the Pre-School Gymnastics Department Leader and the Director of Sunny’s Pre-School!

I hold a Staff Credential from the Department of Children and Families (DCF) and have completed 75+ hours of early childhood education courses. With a strong foundation in best practices for early childhood education and a heartfelt dedication to children’s growth and development, I am excited to continue creating a positive, nurturing, and dynamic learning environment for Sunny’s pre-schoolers to play, learn, and thrive!
