​

We are greatly inspired by the Montessori teaching philosophy and have created Montessori based activities where each child has freedom to choose any activity they want, until that activity is mastered. In our center we balance our activities by allowing children choose an activity and also by participating in changing group activities that include several steps. We at Sunflower find group activities very important as they encourage socialization, patience, kindness and conflict resolution skills development. Children learn a lot by observing and listening to each other in a group.
