Get To Know Little Sun People
LSP Experience
Little Sun People, Inc is a unique community child care center founded in 1980 by Fela Barclift ("Mama Fela"), mother of four and lifetime resident of the Bedford-Stuyvesant community. Many of her own experiences coupled with the sobering lessons learned from the Kenneth and Mamie Clark Doll experiments of the 1940s and later revisited in 2009 inspired Mama Fela to desire something more for her children and community.
Nourishment
Nourishing the minds and bodies of children is a fundamental cornerstone of healthy development, and Little Sun People stands as a shining example of how dedicated care can shape young lives. Understanding that proper nourishment is the bedrock upon which growth is built, the school has woven a comprehensive approach to ensure that every child thrives.
Recognizing that a healthful diet is a vital catalyst for both mental acuity and physical vitality, Little Sun People takes a proactive stance in this regard. Through their active participation in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), the school cements its commitment to providing not just meals, but nourishing experiences that set the stage for a lifetime of well-being. By partnering with this program, the school ensures that each meal is meticulously crafted to meet nutritional standards that support children's optimal growth and development.

School Trips
We believe that trips and other external educational and recreational experiences are important for better academic and social development of our children.
Together, for each of the ten months, our staff chooses at least 2 trips each month where we can use our senses to explore the world outside of Little Sun People. If we are studying domestic animals, we’ll arrange to visit two farms and a petting zoo in the area. We go out exploring for every theme. Children may be scheduled to take field trips to various museums, parks, and zoos.
Special Celebrations
Little Sun People has several fun and exciting special events throughout the year where children, parents and school staff celebrate special times of the year
together. These special events are an integral part of the Little Sun People program and include performances by the children, followed by a celebratory meal and refreshments for all to enjoy!
