Curriculum Description

Sunny Hill Preschool has a child-centered, play-based philosophy. We believe in a developmentally appropriate curriculum for children two to five years of age, presented in an environment which fosters the individual child's emotional, social, physical, and cognitive skills. Our talented, professional team of early childhood educators create an environment that supports and develops a love of learning, respect, cooperation, leadership, an ability to make choices, pride in individual accomplishments and problem solving skills.

 
Our goal is to promote learning through the joy of discovery. Children, supported by our staff, are constantly thinking, exploring, experiencing, learning and testing new skills, and creating scaffolding for a lifetime of learning.  As children grow and develop in our program, they are both nurtured and challenged as they move towards the greater independence that elementary school brings.

The focus of our preschool curriculum is to prepare children socially, emotionally and academically for the many challenges that elementary school brings. Our curriculum is guided and shaped by our experienced staff of early childhood educators, standards of developmentally appropriate practice, National Association for the Education of Young Children recommendations and the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks Guidelines for Preschool Curriculum Experiences. While the school is sponsored by the church, religion is not a part of the curriculum. Our classrooms also incorporate The Creative Curriculum and the Handwriting Without Tears Program into daily activities.
