About Our School Sunny Hill offers programs for 2 through 5-year-old children. Our curriculum is based on the standards of developmentally appropriate practice, recommendations by the National Association for the Education of Young Children and guidelines set by the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks for Preschool Curriculum Experiences. The focus of all of our programs at Sunny Hill is on each individual child’s social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. We recognize that each child will enter Sunny Hill with various life experiences and at different stages of development. Every teacher will come to know each child in their classroom and will provide the nurturing and guidance that will help ensure an individual child’s ultimate success at Sunny Hill. Families who enroll their children at Sunny Hill enter into educational Parent/Teacher/School Partnerships. It is only through mutual collaboration, respect, and cooperatively working together that we come to understand the needs of each individual child and how to work best with each one. Families are always welcome at Sunny Hill! Philosophy and Mission Sunny Hill Preschool’s philosophy is based on our knowledge of child growth and development. Extensive research has proven that children learn best through play. At Sunny Hill, children are given a multitude of opportunities to learn and practice newly acquired skills in a playful setting. Academics are taught through thoughtfully prepared “purposeful play.” The school places a high value on excellence in teaching. The Director, Administrative Team, and Teachers are chosen based on their philosophy, experience, education, personal warmth and their passion for young children and early education. The early mission established by church parishioners over 50 years ago was to offer a high quality, affordable, nurturing, supportive early childhood program to young children and families in Sudbury and surrounding communities. As one of the very first programs in the Sudbury area Sunny Hill served as a model of excellence in early childhood education. That mission continues today.
