Heard of “Farm to Early Care and Education”?

Two children stand in a garden holding leafy greens they have picked. The girl on the left is holding a small plant, while the boy on the right holds a larger one. They are smiling, and a garden net is visible in the background.

WE HAVE! Sunflower is proud that we are VERY involved with Farm to Early Care and Education programming. This program is in conjunction with the Food and Fitness Initiative in our area.

We are expanding our garden each year and getting the children more and more involved with learning about where their food comes from, the issues in dealing with a garden (bugs, pests, and DEER!), and enjoying the harvesting!

We have dedicated significant employee time to this effort – Lead Teacher Darla spends time with all the children each week educating them about their food and enabling them to get hands on experience, too!
