Extensive research has consistently shown that children’s optimal learning occurs when they are actively engaged, involved, and genuinely interested. This invaluable insight deeply influences our curriculum planning process. Our team has designed a curriculum that places a strong emphasis on promoting healthy learning through play. We have drawn inspiration from renowned educational approaches such as Reggio, Waldorf, and Montessori, infusing them with the principles of healthy nutrition, holistic learning, and open-ended play. This integration creates a rich and developmentally appropriate environment that nurtures children’s growth.
Our approach involves carefully crafted weekly lesson plans and monthly themes that are both relevant and suitable for each age group. We also recognize the importance of fostering joy and natural exploration in the learning process. As a result, we remain flexible and responsive to the evolving interests that arise within Sunny’s Pre-School. This approach allows us to create a dynamic and authentic learning experience, where children can fully engage and embrace the wonders of education.

Our expanded program provides a unique environment that combines an academic curriculum with fun, fitness related activities. Participating in sports not only helps children with cooperative, fine and gross motor skills, but boosts confidence and reduces stress!
Latest research has shown that a foundation of high emotional intelligence is an important factor in a child’s future success in relationships, academics, and making healthier choices. In our classroom, building strong social skills is priority. We strive to foster a respectful environment where children can express their needs and feelings in a safe way. We focus on compassion for one another, how to take responsibility for ourselves, and how to communicate effectively.
With a focus on kindergarten readiness, early literacy, math, science and art skills are built into our daily activities. Along with these, we have weekly hands-on specialties in art and science. We ensure all activities are developmentally appropriate and are flexible enough to meet the individual needs of the children in our program.
By combining social / emotional learning, along with sports and our engaging academic curriculum, we focus on the health and happiness of the whole child, providing the foundation for their future success in school and beyond.
