THE SUN DIFFERENCE

Three Things That Shape Life at Sun

Playtime in the Sun Preschool garden
01

English throughout the day

Two teachers in every classroom — a classroom teacher and an English teacher throughout the day.

English accompanies play, mealtimes and conversations in the garden. All our English teachers hold at least a four-year bachelor's degree in their field and a formal teaching qualification.

Nature and discovery

280 m² garden, mud kitchen, chicken coop and maker studio.

Children plant seeds in our ecology garden, create with their hands in our mud kitchen, and design and experiment in our maker studio.

Familiar faces, steady care

We opened in 1995 and have been in our current building since 2008.

The familiar faces your child sees each morning remain the same. Our Head Teacher has been with us since 2012, and our School Principal since 2013. We believe that a stable team provides the emotional security young children need to thrive.
