"Sunflower is a community centred Not-For Profit Childcare Society that offers Reggio Inspired Preschool & Out of School Care Programs in the heart of beautiful Pemberton Heights, North Vancouver. Drawing inspiration from the schools of Reggio Emilia, Italy, Sunflower creates an inclusive space for children and families to co-create curriculum and living pedagogies. At Sunflower you will find that children are valued and honoured for their ability to do meaningful work, their sense of wonder and their curiosity."
"Some families might be surprised to see that we don’t have a strict, structured curriculum, but instead a flexible and hands-on curriculum. Each year our programs look different as the children and educators come together to create unique groupings with different interests, thoughts and observations. We aren’t afraid to step out of our daily routine to take a sporadic walk to the forest, or even bake muffins in the classroom!"

"Families choose our school over other schools because we offer a calm, welcoming and nurturing classroom. Oftentimes when families first enter our space, they feel relaxed with our neutral colours and natural light. We work hard at creating spaces that make our children feel comfortable - natural items from the outdoors, a cozy corner for children who need a quiet space, photos of families to comfort children who may be having a tough day and a magical outdoor space hidden amongst the trees."

"Something that can be unappreciated until realised at Sunflower is the incredible benefits of joining our Sunflower Board of Directors. All parents of Sunflower are eligible to join our Board every fall at our AGM. Being a board member is a way to build strong local networking connections and make an impact in our community. Sunflower Board members also receive the benefit of priority registration for all of our programs including preschool, B&A and Camps."
"Our educators set up open-ended activities and provocations for children to explore, as opposed to sit-down lessons. As a Reggio-inspired school, we investigate and inquire about different topics through play and exploration. Our goal is to empower children to be researchers in their own learning experiences."
