Our Mission & Values
At Sunbeam, we believe in the wisdom of children’s voices, the wonder of their questions and the magic of their imaginations. The beauty of learning for kids is simply in their being. At Sunbeam, we advocate for children to dream boldly, think critically, question power, and trust their inner knowing. We dream of a more just and loving future.
Mission Statement
At Sunbeam Nature School, our mission is to nurture a loving, nature-rooted learning community where children are safe, seen, and free to grow as their full selves.
We center play, curiosity, and connection as the foundation for lifelong learning. In partnership with families, we create a collaborative learning space that is relational, liberatory, and grounded in trust—where education honors the rhythms of nature, the wisdom of children, and the power of community.
Sunbeam Values
All children and families are inherently competent.
Their identities, experiences, hopes, and dreams are central to the formation of our learning community.
Humans learn and develop through our whole bodies and minds. Relationships, environment, biology—and even the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe—all shape who we become.
