The Sunflower Room

To learn, a child must be able to play. By allowing a child to interact with items in their environment through play, the child will discover their environment on a personal level.  This will create an atmosphere of learning that will span the disciplines that will be needed in the future to become a productive person in life.  Through play a child learns math, science, vocabulary, social skill, cause and effect, as well as small muscle and large muscle development and cognitive skills.

Breana, Sunflowers Teacher

Hello! My name is Breana Green and I have been with The Learning Gardens since March, 2024.  I love working with kids because I enjoy helping kids to aim high and become who they are meant to be.  I believe children learn best through a calm and individualized environment.  In my past experience, I have worked with infants to age 12.  I am passionate about becoming the best version of me and making a difference.

I grew up in Madison and have three young children.  I have a certification in mind behavior and biology for psychology.  In my spare time, I like to read, paint, draw, walk in nature, go bowling, etc.

My favorite quote is “She did her best, and God did the rest.” — Hattie McDaniel
