Sunnyside Academy is an early childhood education center in E Hazel Crest, Illinois, serving infants, toddlers, preschoolers and kindergarten-aged children with age-grouped classroom programs.
Sunnyside Academy is an early childhood center that organizes care and learning by age group, from infants through kindergarten. The program emphasises hands-on, project-based activities and social-emotional development alongside early literacy.
Classroom work covers cognitive, language, motor and social-emotional development at each age level. Infants and toddlers follow daily activities to support sensory exploration, early communication and basic motor milestones.

The program also incorporates horticulture and garden-based learning.
Meals and snacks are provided daily and the program notes menu planning by an experienced nutrition professional.
