Our story
Founded by teachers, run by heart
Sunny Hollow started in 2012 when two kindergarten teachers, Rosa and Jen, opened a single classroom in a converted farmhouse. Today we're three bright rooms, a big garden and a team of 14 early-years educators.
Our philosophy is simple: children learn best when they're curious, safe and having fun.
