Rising Sunbeams

Around their fourth birthday, many children start asking for bigger challenges. Rising Sunbeams gives them that, in small groups, while they stay in a place and with people they already trust.
Parents sometimes ask whether a four year old should move somewhere bigger before school. Our view is that the best preparation for school is confidence, and confidence grows fastest where a child already feels secure.
