Hunts Point families are resilient and forward-thinking. They want quality education for their children and are looking for centers that will prepare them for success. Our program delivers exactly that, with research-based curriculum and genuine care for each child.
A Curriculum Built Around How Children Actually Learn
At Sunshine Learning Center, we follow the Creative Curriculum, a research-backed, nationally recognized early childhood framework that puts hands-on, play-based learning at the center of everything we do. Unlike rigid, one-size-fits-all programs, Creative Curriculum is designed to meet each child exactly where they are developmentally and help them grow at their own pace.
Our teachers use this framework to create structured yet flexible lesson plans that integrate four core developmental areas:
Problem-solving, critical thinking, and early math and science concepts introduced through exploration and discovery
Building vocabulary, early literacy skills, and the confidence to express ideas through stories, songs, and conversation
Fine and gross motor skills developed through active play, art, sensory activities, and outdoor experiences
Learning to share, collaborate, build friendships, and manage emotions in a supportive classroom community
We believe in meeting children where they are and supporting their individual development journey.
Programs for Every Age and Stage
Infants (6 weeks - 12 months)
Our infant program provides responsive, individualized care from consistent caregivers. Personal cribs, clean shoe-free environments, and separate feeding and diaper areas create safety and comfort. Babies experience sensory activities, music, language-rich interaction, and physical affection supporting secure attachment and early development.
Toddlers (1-2 years)
Toddlers need structure and freedom to explore. Our classrooms provide a carefully prepared environment where toddlers can safely investigate and build confidence. We introduce early concepts through sensory play, support language development, and encourage growing independence.
Early Preschool (2-4 years)
Early preschool children develop academic foundations and friendships. Our learning centers support exploration in literacy, math, science, art, and dramatic play. Children work together, develop early academic skills, and build the social competencies needed for kindergarten.
Preschool and Pre-K (4-6years)
Our pre-K program ensures kindergarten readiness. We incorporate phonics, writing, math, and science into meaningful, play-based activities. Art, music, movement, and outdoor exploration ensure balanced development across all domains.
