History
Blueberry came first. My daughter was a eating blueberries and kept saying boo boo (with a huge smile). I kept writing possible names for a preschool I wanted to create. I looked at her and said, yes sweetie, it is a blueberry, aha... Blueberry will be the school's name! It felt right because being vegetarian and valuing organic food has been a huge part of starting Blueberry and Sunflower. Currently, Sunflower is at Blueberry's original location. We have always been Reggio-inspired, and now we have evolved to what we call California-Reggio, which is a constructivist education philosophy that has huge participation in our city. That's why or name is Sunflower Santa Monica.
Specialties
We have a parent tour on Friday, January 22nd 2016 at 4pm. We're Sunflower Santa Monica, a California-Reggio Preschool and Parent & Toddler program. We are inspired by constructivist philosophies and paradigms, which value children's innate curiosity, creativity, and capacity for learning. We believe children thrive in an environment they create with teachers who seek and respect children's ideas and interests. This is how our curriculum is born. We embrace imagination, wonder, and meaning. Above all, at Sunflower Santa Monica, we form a community where families feel they belong and know they are loved.
