Sunflower Play School

PRESEVERING THE MAGIC OF CHILDHOOD THROUGH PLAY-BASED, OUTDOOR-FOCUSED AND CHILD-LED LEARNING.

Home: Welcome

Program Values

Relationships: Our learning community honors every child and family. Intentional focus is placed on supporting the development of self-esteem and positive social interactions.

Play: Play is our primary approach to learning. We spend the majority of our day engaged in child selecting, play-based learning opportunities.

Individuality: Every child contributes to our learning community in a unique way. These differences are celebrated and cultivate through individualized instruction and supports.

Time in Nature: We spend extended periods of time outside, rain or shine, to support physical and mental health.

About Me

Thank you for your interest in Sunflower Play School. My name is Julie Worrall. With the support of my family, I am the sole caregiver at Sunflower. I have worked in the field of Early Care and Education for 20 years. As a parent of a preschool-age child myself, I was inspired to open Sunflower to create the high quality early-learning experience I wanted for my own child, and to provide an alternative early learning service to the community focused on play, nature and child-led learning. Sunflower offers a small home-care environment while maintaining many of the services and practices you might typically expect to receive from a large child care program. I love the work that I do . Every day is exciting and new as I learn along side the children in my care as they develop into confident, life-long learners. I'm excited to share more about my program with you. Please reach out with any further questions.
