Welcome to the 2013-1014 School Year

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.

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.

I learned about dinosaurs and that the triceratops ‘tri’ means three.

I learned the difference between comets and shooting stars. Shooting stars are made of rock and fire and comets are made out of ice.

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.

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…

Sunflower has been a wonderful environment for our daughter. At Sunflower Preschool, children learn the art of friendship. Children are taught to be compassionate, caring, and just. Many of us like to believe that being a friend is something that develops naturally, but in reality it must be taught, modeled, and guided. Equally importantly, at Sunflower Preschool, children develop a love of learning. Their curiosity is ignited and their inclination to pursue knowledge is cultivated.

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 learned that dinosaurs died because of a meteorite. I learned that we have a drought in Colorado.

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!
