Children engaged in creative art projects

At Sunnybeam, we believe that during the preschool years, children should develop social, emotional and intellectual tools through activities that encourage them to work together, experiment, and problem solve. We create an environment that leads children to socialize with each other, make their own discoveries, and develop a love for learning.

Sunnybeam School is a play-based preschool where young children are encouraged to explore, imagine, and learn at their own pace. Our classrooms are calm, welcoming spaces where curiosity is nurtured, friendships are formed, and children feel a strong sense of belonging within a close-knit school community.

Where curiosity leads the way

 

At Sunnybeam, play is at the heart of everything we do. Through hands-on exploration, open-ended materials, and meaningful relationships, children develop social-emotional skills, language, and confidence that support a smooth and thoughtful transition to kindergarten and beyond in ways that feel natural and joyful. Our teachers thoughtfully guide learning while honoring each child’s individuality and readiness.

Families choose Sunnybeam for its warm community, experienced educators, and intentional play-based approach to early childhood education.
