Our Legacy

Trusted by
families like yours.

Building on a legacy of success: The Bridge School is led by the same dedicated team that brought you Sunshine. Through this leadership, we have successfully guided families for years — see below the impact our team has made on students within our current programs.
★★★★★
"I am truly floored by the breadth, depth and true creativity that they used to engage and educate the kids. My daughter entered pre-K with much more knowledge than her classmates had, and it showed."
— Pia, Sunshine Parent
★★★★★
"We've had a top NYC preschool and pre-K experience at Sunshine on Lex. They prepared my son (and us) so much for private school kindergarten and really simplified the application process. His teachers taught him to read, and he remains way ahead of his peers."
— Leila Costa, Sunshine Lexington
★★★★★
"Sunshine Learning Center has been both of my kids' school since they were 12 weeks old. We immediately felt the warm, nurturing, safe environment when we did our tour. Sunshine is led by Dr. Tolaison Spence, who is such a phenomenal leader."
— Eva Kerby, Sunshine Lexington
