Philosophy & Approach

Research shows that children learn by doing, and they need many opportunities to explore and grow. Preschool activities that align with best practices can foster creativity, as well as promote emotional, cognitive, social, and physical development. Developmentally appropriate activities can also build self-esteem and enthusiasm for learning.

Funshine Express curriculum is based on this philosophy, which is backed by current research findings and grounded in a century’s worth of work.

Fireflies™ Program Goals (Ages: 2 - 5 years)

Each curriculum is based on current research and sound educational theories of early childhood learning and development.
We will provide a wide range of hands-on, interactive activities that allow children to use their unique learning styles to experiment and explore their surroundings.
The activity suggestions provided in our monthly kits will stimulate creativity, build a positive self-image in each child, and address the needs of the whole child.
We will encourage involvement of family members in each child’s learning through literature and suggested activities.
The program will be easy to use, flexible, and require minimal preparation by the teacher.
