What we offer

• Diversity: Our school—and our staff—reflect the diversity of our students and their families. We are multi-lingual and ready to prepare students regardless of their first language.
• Creativity: Sunnyside Up provides learning experiences few other programs can—including the ability for children to participate in movement, music, and art exercises with seniors in our Adult Day Services Program. 
• Beyond early education: Pre-K and 3-K students at Sunnyside Up get priority enrollment in free after-school programs at PS 199, 150, or 343, if they attend. And as your child grows, we have programs for after-school, college and career readiness. Sunnyside Community Services provides an entire slate of activities and programs for all ages.

Day-to-day at Sunnyside UP

• In the classroom, we emphasize exploration and discovery as a way of learning. 
• At playtime, students go to the local park for play and movement. When the weather does not permit, students engage in dance, stretching, and other movement exercises. 
• At mealtime, students eat a healthy breakfast and lunch. Students learn about preparing, serving, and sharing food at mealtime.
