Girassol's structured preschool program operates year-round, focusing on kindergarten preparedness through a combination of two highly regarded education philosophies: the Reggio Emilia Approach and the Montessori Method. Both emphasize learning through play in a beautiful environment where each child is free to create and discover, build relationships with peers, and become a confident learner.
Girassol's theme-based curriculum involves children learning about themselves and the world around them through eight learning domains: Physical Development, Social and Emotional Development, Language Development, Creative Arts, Literacy Knowledge, Mathematics Knowledge, Science Knowledge, and Social Studies Knowledge. Our daily schedule is structured to include planned, age-appropriate activities, snack and lunch times, outdoor play, and, for full-day students, a two-hour period during which the children should not require one-on-one attention in order to nap, rest, or play alone quietly. Families who prefer a less-structured approach should consider a daycare program, such as one that is home based. |
