"Play is the brain's favorite way of learning.”  ​Diane Ackerman
Indoors and out, all year round, learning through play is the Girassol way!

This preschooler grew beautiful girassols herself! 
Girassol, pronounced jih·rah·soul, is sunflower in Portuguese. Sunflowers bring warmth, light, and happiness to all who look at them, just like children!
​On cloudy days, sunflowers turn to face each other, to give each other energy. This is the Girassol way!   ​
