Trusted Daycare and Early Learning Center Serving Sheepshead Bay Families

Sheepshead Bay is a historic Brooklyn neighborhood centered around the bay of the same name, which cuts into southern Brooklyn. Named for the sheepshead fish once abundant in the waters, Sheepshead Bay has a waterfront character and is known for its fishing industry heritage. Today, the neighborhood is home to diverse families and has waterfront recreation, restaurants, and a strong neighborhood identity. Emmons Avenue serves as the main commercial strip, lined with seafood restaurants, fishing boats, and shops. The neighborhood has a distinct maritime character that sets it apart from inland Brooklyn neighborhoods.

The D, F, N, and Q trains serve the area with connections at Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue and nearby stops. For Sheepshead Bay families, transit access to Manhattan and across the city is excellent. The bay provides waterfront recreation and a distinctive neighborhood amenity. Coney Island Beach and the boardwalk are nearby, providing additional recreational opportunities.

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

Every child progresses at their own pace with intentional, developmentally appropriate instruction.

Programs for Every Age and Stage

Infants (6 weeks - 12 months)

Our infant program provides responsive, individualized care from consistent caregivers. Personal cribs, a clean shoe-free environment, and separate feeding and diaper areas create safety and comfort. Sensory play, music, language-rich interaction, and physical affection support secure attachment and early development.

Toddlers (1-2 years)

Toddlers are becoming independent and expressive. Our classrooms balance structure with freedom to explore. We introduce early academic concepts through sensory play, support language development, and encourage growing confidence and self-expression.

Early Preschool (2-4 years)

Early preschool children develop academic skills and peer relationships. Our learning centers support exploration in literacy, math, science, art, and dramatic play. Children work together, develop early academic foundations, and build social competencies.

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.
