Introduction to Sunshine Learning Center
Welcome to Sunshine Learning Center, a beacon of early childhood education nestled in the heart of New York City. Our ethos is simple yet profound: to brighten the future of each child through a nurturing and engaging learning environment. Here, we embrace the uniqueness of every student, empowering them to explore, learn, and grow with confidence.
Our Mission and Vision

Our mission is to create a secure, loving, and intellectually stimulating environment that caters to the diverse educational needs of children. We envision a community where every child is seen, heard, and motivated to reach their full potential.
Educational Philosophy
We subscribe to the Creative Curriculum, a research-based early childhood curriculum that focuses on the holistic development of children. This curriculum sets clear objectives in key developmental areas, including cognitive, speech and language, social-emotional, and gross and fine motor skills. Our approach is hands-on, encouraging children to engage actively with their surroundings and learn through exploration and play.

Choosing the right educational start for your child is a monumental decision, and at Sunshine Learning Center, we understand the weight of this choice. Unlike many early childhood educational environments, our focus extends beyond simple childcare. We immerse your child in a nurturing world filled with opportunities for exploration and learning.

What is the Creative Curriculum, and How Does it Benefit Your Child?
The Creative Curriculum is a research-based approach that focuses on the holistic development of young learners. It's not just about reading, writing, and arithmetic; this curriculum is designed to foster development across all domains including cognitive, social-emotional, speech and language, and physical skills. By integrating hands-on learning experiences, we encourage children to interact with their environment, leading to deeper understanding and retention of knowledge. The curriculum's flexibility allows us to tailor learning experiences to the individual needs of each child, ensuring that we meet them where they are in their developmental journey. Imagine your child engaging in an activity that not only teaches them about science but also hones their fine motor skills and encourages social interaction. That's the power of the Creative Curriculum.
