Sunflower & Garden Rooms

Ages: 3-5 years old

Sunflower Room Teachers: Kristen, Babe, LaLaina

Garden Room Teachers: Mary, Liz, Lynne

The Sunflower and Garden Room children are quickly developing self-confidence in movement, language and social relationships. They are delving into the new worlds of numbers and literacy, and are very interested in learning why things work the way they do.

Teachers make sure the environment is rich in print and stock the areas of the room with writing and reading materials. They address children's curiosity about the natural world and cause-and-effect relationships by encouraging hands-on investigations. The teachers provide various materials that promote awareness of numbers and use of counting. Pre-school-aged children have mastered movement and balance. Teachers couple this with children's developing understanding of rules and introduce dancing and games to enhance their experiences.

The Sunflower Room is located at our 120 6th Street location. The Garden Room is located at the South Whidbey Primary School next to our School-Age program.
