Thanks so much for your interest in Girassol's programs. We are located in Homer, Alaska. Our year-round Preschool Program, which is licensed by the State of Alaska, focuses on kindergarten preparedness for children ages 18 months to 5 years.
We are accepting applications for enrollment. Download an application here. Girassol means "sunflower" in Portuguese, the language of Brazil. It is pronounced jih·ruh·sol. Sunflowers bring warmth, light, and happiness to all who look at them, just like children!
On cloudy days, sunflowers turn to face each other, to give each other energy. This is the Girassol way! Click on the YouTube video to hear a beautiful Portuguese song about girassols! |
Throughout the year, Girassol's Escola de Artes offers children's classes after school and during breaks, holidays, and summer vacation. Art making nurtures creativity and innovative thinking., and children love it! In all our Escola de Artes programs, hands-on activities encourage the development of fine motor skills, neural development, and problem-solving abilities.
Summer Program for 5-7 year olds!
We are super excited about our summer program for older children. This begins May 20th and will run Monday through Friday through August 16. Scheduling is flexible. Your child can attend a few days a week, week by week, or month by month. We're also offering a discount if siblings enroll in the program. The registration form is available here.
