This is an early childhood outdoor nature program. We connect children to nature and animals through synergy while cultivating creativity and risk taking in a small group setting. Even on cold days we bundle up and walk the farm, feed animals, build snowmen, collect eggs, climb the giant tree house, catch toads or follow bugs. Inside activities include books, puzzles, blocks and our large recycled creative art building where children choose from painting, woodworking, sculpting, fabric art, sensory materials and more! Parents are welcome to stay or drop-off.

Sunflower Farms schedule June through November
As seen on LifeLongmontLearning.com...
SproutHouse Program 2009/2010
Monday through Friday Sunflower Farm has a drop-off program for 2-5 year olds.
Having your child come to the farm regularly, whether you choose one day of the week, three days or all five, allows them to get to know the seasons of the farm and animals better. This agricultural-based program is as much outdoor time as possible. It is a hands-on, experiential class which encourages children to access a deeper place within themselves. Kids will learn the value of being part of a team, problem solving and an ability to access their own creativity. While exploring nature, children are encouraged to lead, and at the same time cultivate trust, respect and the idea that we are greater together than we are individually.
Even on cold days we will bundle up, climb in the wagon and tour the farm, feed animals, build snowmen, collect eggs, climb the giant treehouse, catch toads, follow bugs, or play together at the SproutHouse. Outdoor activities as well as indoor activities such as art, music, games and stories are all part of this program.
Summer SproutHouse: June 3 - Aug 14, 2009
When: Weds, Thurs and/or Friday
Time: 9:30am - 12:30pm

Miss Stephanie will provide tips and suggestions and lots of materials, including a basic painted "house" for each family, paint, door knobs, and curtain fabric. You provide your family, in clothes that can get messy, and items you would like to use to personalize your house: posters, wallpaper, stick-on letters, or anything else that will make it special for your children. The cost is only $40, and the workshop is limited to 15 families, so register early! Call the Museum at 303-651-8374 by Saturday, August 10, to sign up for this fun, creative family activity.

2008-2009 school year
It’s that time of year when we have to start thinking about where our children will be attending school next year! In our house that means trying to decide which preschool will set our child on the path to excellence (haha) but for others of you it might be finding out more about kindergarten and trying to decide whether your neighborhood school is best or if you should open enroll somewhere else. School choice is great but it requires a lot of work for the parents! :)
Here’s a preliminary list of Longmont preschools, some of which are more daycare-like, others that are more traditional preschools, and some offer kindergarten too. If I missed one, please leave me a comment or send me an email and I’ll update the list ASAP!

There will also be announcements soon about which schools will offer full-time, tuition based kindergartens. Here’s a link to a Times Call article about the school district board meeting tonight: http://www.timescall.com/news_story.asp?ID=5957. If your child will be going to kindergarten in the St. Vrain Valley School District this year, be sure to contact your neighborhood school or the district (http://www.stvrain.k12.co.us/) for more information about kindergarten registration as that typically happens early in the year! Also, it might be helpful to visit the Colorado School Accountability Reports website (http://reportcard.cde.state.co.us/reportcard/CommandHandler.jsp) to compare test scores and such. Best of luck!
