Parent Voice
“Ms. Yuki knew my son's hunger cues better than I did by week two. The daily Brightwheel reports let me feel present even when I'm at the office.”
— Rachel T., mom of 9-month-old
Infant Care · 6 weeks–12 months · 4:1 ratio
Our infant program is built on the Primary Caregiver model — each baby is assigned one dedicated lead caregiver who learns their unique rhythms, cues, and personality. We believe secure attachment is the single most important thing we can give an infant.
What we teach:
Developmental milestones targeted:
$1,450/mo full-time
$1,030/mo (3 days)
Parent Voice
“Our son came home from Sunflower saying 20 signs before he could say the words. It completely changed our communication — and his frustration went to zero.”
— David L., dad of 18-month-old
Toddler Room · 12–24 months · 5:1 ratio
The toddler year is the most explosive period of language development in human life. Our program surrounds children with a language-rich environment: narrated play, picture books, songs, and a teacher who talks to — not at — every child.
What we teach:
Developmental milestones targeted:
$1,350/mo full-time
$960/mo (3 days)
Parent Voice
“My daughter told me she was 'investigating' whether leaves were the same or different. Mr. Tomás had her doing real scientific thinking at age 2.5.”
— Maya R., mom of 2.5-year-old
Preschool Prep · 2–3 years · 8:1 ratio
Preschool Prep uses a Reggio-Emilia inspired approach: the environment is the third teacher, children are capable researchers, and documentation of learning makes growth visible. Projects emerge from children's own questions and can run for days or weeks.
What we teach:
Developmental milestones targeted:
$1,200/mo full-time
$855/mo (3 days)
Parent Voice
“My son's kindergarten teacher pulled me aside on the third day to ask where he went to preschool. She said he was 'operating at a first-grade level.' That's Ms. Brianna.”
— Tomas W., dad of 5-year-old
Pre-K · 3–5 years · 10:1 ratio
Pre-K at Sunflower is where play and academic preparation meet. We reject the false choice between joyful childhood and kindergarten readiness. Children leave our program reading simple books, writing their names, counting to 20+, and most importantly, knowing how to learn.
What we teach:
Developmental milestones targeted:
$1,100/mo full-time
$785/mo (3 days)
