The sunflower classroom

Our Sunflower classroom is for 4 and 5 year olds during the day, as well as Kindergarteners after school. The Sunflowers work on more long-term discovery projects, as well as plenty of discussion in large and small groups. This class is full of hands-on learning activities that promote cognitive and social-emotional development. A main focus of our Sunflower room is to support the growth of personal as well as social responsibility.

Hi, my name is Sophia S. I am majoring  in Human Development and Family Studies at Iowa State University. Roll Clones!! My future goal is to become a Certified Child Life Specialist to give support to children and families in the hospital setting. I have many younger cousins who fostered my love for children.
