Sunflower Montessori School

My son has attended Sunflower since he was 3.5 years old. He’ll be turning 5 in a few weeks and he loves it here. He has made friends, he knows all his teachers by name, he’s learning countless basic skills, and he LOVES the music and performance programs every semester. My younger son will be going here starting in May, and I’m excited to see how he does in the program since he’s very similar to his big brother in personality and thrives on constant stimulation and interaction. We love Sunflower!

Ok, where to start with this wonderful school! I am hesitant to reveal this little hidden gem of Van Nuys, but I also think I should share these wonderful teachers! Here’s the deal on this school, its been there for a million years, and all the teachers have been there from the start. These women are absolutely masterful with the kids. NOT ONLY is it an affordable Montessori school (which is unheard of in LA) BUT it also run by these wonderful women. I found this school because an acquaintance of mine highly recommended it because both her own child and a grown up friend of hers had attended and she had rave reviews of the place. I will tell you, by the time these kids venture off to kinder they CAN READ. They have such an edge already ! My daughter is 3 and can write her name, all letters/​numbers of alphabet, she can do advanced work sheets, and she takes a dance class that’s offered right there in the school. Miss Anita, Miss Nomali, Miss Roshana, and Miss lalani (pardon any spelling errors) provide this wonderful, nurturing learning environment for the kids.
When you walk in you will notice that some of the materials are old, and the classrooms aren’t brand new and in perfect condition. PLEASE DO NOT LET THIS DETER YOU. They have all the Montessori materials and it’s truly what’s inside that counts in this wonderful little school.
I just felt compelled to share, for any of you parents that may be looking for something
