Child Care & Preschool Ages 2 1/2 - 7 Years Sunshine Special was founded by director Suzanne Price in 1986. Over the years, our preschool center has been lovingly handcrafted to provide a warm, nuturing and creatively inspiring studio/workshop environment for the children enrolled in our programs. Sunshine Special provides an environment and curriculum where self-concepts are enhanced, free choice decisions are offered, social skills are acquired and individuality is respected. Our educational goal is to develop in the child an active curiosity about the world they live in and an enthusiasm for learning which stimulates exploratory behavior and creativity. Children are offered abundant opportunities to spend time with friends in a range of different and satisfying activites, in large part inspired by a creative approach to childhood education based on artistic self-expression and classroom collaboration. We look forward to seeing you and your child - call us today to schedule a tour and appointment.
Ivybrook Academy Ann Arbor brings a private, half-day preschool to south Ann Arbor, Michigan, for children 18 months through age 6. Our classrooms blend the Montessori and Reggio Emilia philosophies into hands-on, child-led discovery, with small groups, low ratios, and teachers who truly know each child. In a university town that expects a lot from early education, our south Ann Arbor campus blends Montessori and Reggio Emilia with dual-session flexibility. We proudly serve families across south Ann Arbor, Pittsfield Township, and the I-94 corridor.
