Join us at our Annual Sunbeam Fundraiser and help raise funds to build an outdoor kitchen and fire circle—a shared hearth for the children and the community who care for them.

Every registration helps bring this vision to life, so bring friends, and thank you for supporting our vision, students, and community.

Why give?

  • Nurture Whole-Child Learning

    Your gift supports an environment where children learn through play, exploration, and connection—not just academics.

  • Keep Nature at the Center

    We believe children thrive when rooted in the natural world. Donations help us maintain outdoor spaces and nature-based experiences.

  • Make It Accessible for All

    Every contribution brings us closer to offering need-based scholarships so more families can access our unique programs.

  • Care for Our Farm Animals

    Your support provides food, shelter, and veterinary care for the animals who teach empathy, responsibility, and connection.

  • Feed Their Curiosity

    Donations fund hands-on materials, tools, and animals that spark imagination, problem-solving, and joy.

  •  Inspire Art and Creativity

    Your donation helps stock our shelves with paints, clay, fabric, instruments, and open-ended materials that allow kids to express themselves and bring their ideas to life.

“As a mom, I love Sunbeam because my children are seen, supported, and celebrated just as they are.”
