which is only 3min.away from us. Children at Sonshine Kids will not only
be learning from regular and invited helpers, but will also be in regular
contact with people at the International School.
Library: The staff of Sonshine Kids will be able to borrow books from the
International Shool and SSS (School Support Services) libraries. The library
at Honeybee is small, but from the thousands of books in the shool and
SSS libraries, we believe we will be able to choose great books for kids!
Parental Involvement
At Sonshine Kids, we desire that parents will be able to understand what
their children are learning.
To make this possible, we would like to offer several programs.
Mom's English & Bible time / A time to learn the meaning behind Bible
lessons and songs that are taught. This will be taught by an English speaker,
and the lesson will also explain memory verses. We plan to offer these
sessions 2-3 times a month.
Scholastic Book Club/ Honeybee. Scholastic books will be available at
a discount.
This is especially great for your read-at-home project! (Books with CDs
are available for parents who have difficulty reading in English to children)
Classroom Visitation / Book Reading. On these days, parents can come
as assistants and visit with us.
Making Kid's Portfolio / Report cards and grades will not be given at
Sonshine Kids, but we can put together a portfolio that shows the progress
of children.
Events/ Events and parties that are planned at Honeybee can be attended
at the same cost as people in Honeybee English.
