Sonshine Learning Center

Sonshine Learning Center features an 8 acre campus including nature path, a sledding/ kite flying hill, vast grassy areas, a large remodeled, accessible playground, and also features outdoor classroom environments, such as outdoor art, basketball and bike track, science, dramatic play, and music centers. 

Our 4K and Sonshine Learning Center teachers are trained in early childhood processes, techniques, and methods to truly enhance brain development, growth, and learning activities according to research and evidence based practices: 

*S.M.A.R.T. curriculum program

*occupational and environmental teaching, classroom management, and regulation strategies

* alignment with the Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards for children ages 0-6, in addition to the state teaching standards for 4K

*the CSEFEL Pyramid Model (as one of a few state of Wisconsin, child care, center-wide Implementation Sites)

*the state of Wisconsin Youngstar program/guidelines as a FOUR STAR facility

*Early Childhood Environmental Rating Scales 

All of these strategies work together to provide the highest quality, research-based, academic, social, and emotional environment for your child. *Assessments and scheduled main curriculum are the same across the New Richmond School District 4K sites*

Our 4K teachers continue to be Allison Firestone and Kayla Grender.

Our wrap around / looping teacher this year, Ms. Flandrick, works closely with Mrs. Firestone and Mrs. Grender to meet the educational, social, emotional, Sonshine, and district goals of our 4K students. Because our Sonshine team provides continuous care (or looping with the same teacher for multiple years) at all levels, our wrap around teacher will change for the 2022-2023 school year as the loop continues.
