"Sunflower has been a constant in my children's lives for six years and I feel blessed to have had such wonderful, committed and caring teachers help them grow. Their dedication to the mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing of my son and daughter has been more than I could have asked for, with results greater than I could have hoped for. Sunflower will be a part of our lives and hearts forever, a great educational decision for our family."

"We have had at least one child at Sunflower for six years now. What a great team of teachers you have! In all seriousness, Sunflower feels like family to us, and we're so grateful to have had this wonderful place for our kids to grow, learn, feel safe, and have a great time. Let us know when you decide to open an elementary school!"

"From my first visit I felt this was an environment where my precious child could grow, and I was right. As the years went by I saw her develop self esteem, confidence and knowledge of the world around us. I'm so proud to say we are parents of a Sunflower child and can only hope that the future educational, recreational, developmental experiences in her life will be as great as our Sunflower experience has been. I am so grateful to the Sunflower staff for the support and wisdom our family was able to take advantage of. I'm so proud of me for selecting Sunflower to be a part of Maylu's developmental process."

"My daughter learned that the Allosaurus was a carnivore (who sometimes ate plants by mistake), and that the asteroid belt separates the inner and outer planets (and that you can't land on gas giants). She came home singing a new song each week, learned to eat her protein first, and mastered both the tree pose and the monkey bars. But most important is the fun she had with the "about fifty-ten thousand friends" she made at Sunflower. I was as comfortable having my daughter at Sunflower as I was leaving her with my own mother. I was always sure she would be safe, have fun, and would expand both her knowledge and creativity. The exceptional Sunflower staff made our first school experience a positive one. By encouraging us to spend time with our kids in the school and always making sure to tell us about our kids' significant achievements as well as challenges, the school helped us parents through this critical transition period."

"Sunflower Preschool was the perfect choice for our son, Lucas. He entered a shy and reserved little boy and in two years he has blossomed into a confident and socially active young man."

"I will always remember my time at Sunflower Preschool. It stands out as one of the best parts of my education and my life. Sunflower wasn't an ordinary place for me. It was special. I learned to be independent and creative. The hands-on activities were unique and were related to the real world. The things I learned at Sunflower are things I still use today."

Shooting stars are made of rock and fire and comets are made out of ice"
