Our Insights

The Children's Lab School in Sunnyside is a neighborhood school serving grades Kindergarten through 5. This school shares a building with a Pre-K Center.

The Pre-K has lots of activities for children to explore art, nature, music, dramatic play and more, which are meant to develop a range of skills and promote a child's acceptance of diversity. Teachers ask children questions, invite back-and-forth conversation to develop language skills, mutual respect and promote positive social interactions. Children are encouraged to communicate and learn language skills through books, puppets or blocks. The principal has been leading this school since 2013.

This school prioritizes children who live in the school zone, but anyone is welcome to apply. Type your address into our school search to see your zoned school.
