Our Perspective on Sunflower Early Learning Society

This community-based, not-for-profit childcare program offers preschool and out-of-school childcare in North Vancouver. With a curriculum rooted in the Reggio Emilia philosophy, Sunflower Early Learning Society makes children’s early education engaging and meaningful.

At Sunflower, kids are valued for their ability to do meaningful work and their sense of wonder and curiosity. Teachers view them as competent with an innate ability to learn about the world around them, and they’re encouraged to express themselves and learn through interaction with their community. Parents are considered to be partners in education, at Sunflower, and teachers are viewed as guides who help facilitate the exploration of children’s interests.
