Premier childcare centre Sunflower has 20 locations in Singapore, including Sunflower Preschool within Hougang Mall (90 Hougang Avenue 10).
Sunflower childcare centres provide kindergarden programs, nursery services, as well as early childhood education for children between the age of 18 months and 6 years old.
The centres offer age-appropriates programs that help children develop intellectually, physically, emotionally, musically, and socially to their fullest potential.
Each child is allowed to progress at his or her own pace and Sunflower look into their stages of development in enhancing and enriching their learning opportunities.
The curriculum itself is based on the concept of Multiple Intelligences (MI), which was conceived in 1983 by Dr Howard Gardner, a professor of education at Harvard University.
The idea behind Multiple Intelligences is that there are a total of eight different ways to demonstrate intellectual ability, eight ways of being smart (Word Smart, Picture Smart, Music Smart, Self Smart, Nature Smart, People Smart, Body Smart, Logic Smart), and that the traditional notion of intelligence, based on IQ testing, is too limited.
At all of the Sunflower childcare and education centres, the fundamentals of the multiple intelligences theory are taught to children in everyday classroom situations, with the curriculum prodiving hundres of ways to develop all eight kinds of “smarts”.
Activities that play an integral part of Sunflower’s programs are story telling / speech & drama, music & movement, art & craft, dramatic play / sand play / dough play / block play, manipulative play / role play, the art of language, and a creative approach for arithmetic and science through circle time as well as structured groups and individual projects for kindergarten students.
Besides the standard curriculum, activities that are conducted on a regular basis for the child’s learning and enjoyment purposes include Fun with Cooking (quarterly cookery sessions), Excursions (visits to places of interests as well as field trips to enhance classroom experiences), and Workshops (organized to introduce new ideas, skills, or crafts).
