Sunnyside Preschool Open House at Second Location in Sherman Oaks
Open House Saturday, August 21st from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.
Sunnyside’s unique play-based philosophy inspires a love for learning. This creates a fun environment that fosters the social, emotional, physical, creative, and cognitive growth of each child. This developmental approach is designed to reach the whole child through hands-on learning. The curriculum and activities build a positive attitude toward lifelong learning. This is especially important as children extend play beyond themselves. They learn what it means to be part of a group and to share their world with others. Sunnyside exposes children to a variety of activities that enrich their lives. To name a few:  art, yoga, music, storytelling, and Spanish. The pirate ship, community garden, and woodworking center all encourage creative play and imagination – the building blocks for a great future. Join us for arts & crafts, music, refreshments, and fun as you experience the magic of Sunnyside.
