Philosophy
At Sunflower Family Daycare, it is our goal to provide an environment that makes children feel welcomed and at home. In our program, children will feel empowered to follow their own interests in a safe space. Sun Flower Family Daycare offers a creative early childhood curriculum which we explore through play, games, music, creative movement and arts. We expose children to all aspects of developmental needs and we cater to unique needs of each child and their families. We believe children deserve to be children as long as they can and we encourage that by supporting free play, imagination and outdoor exploration as much as possible. While children learn through creative, self-paced channels, our role as teachers is to guide them in this process and allow them the freedom to express their inner selves. We believe in providing a structure for children to develop and each day we follow a routine and carefully planned activities and various curriculum themes.
Talk
We talk to your little lovely in Chinese. Depending on the expectations of you, we use fluent Cantonese or Mandarin to communicate and educate them. Your little lovely is going to have great opportunities to get close to/ learn languages other than English.
Read
We read to your little lovely whenever they want book time. Your little lovely gain opportunities for language development and cognitive development through reading during the day.
Sing
Integrate simple exercises into singing, so that your little one can get the opportunity to practice in the happy singing. Learn colors / letters / numbers by singing to let them know that 'learning is not boring'.
