Yellow Sun Playschool is a play-based, imagination fostering environment created for children ages 3-5 to flourish and thrive.
Within the rhythm of each day, there are guided activities that reflect the cycle of seasons
as well as ample time for indoor and outdoor child-led play.
There is no use of screen time or overstimulating toys in the school room.
This gives the children an opportunity to exercise their imaginations at every turn.
Yellow Sun Playschool philosohpy is also influenced by early childhood educator, Janet Lansbury, author of "No Bad Kids".
In her approach to children, caretakers trust in each child's pace and process of learning and discovery.
When a child does need adult intervention, it is always done with gentle patience, curiosity and respect.
Yellow Sun Play school is located at the intersection of the Fairhaven/South Hill/Happy Valley neighborhoods in a beautiful and cozy home with a dedicated school room and office, a big backyard to play in and furry friends in residence too!
