kidSTREAM (coming soon)

The mission of kidSTREAM is to provide an engaging environment where children explore, play and discover. An inspiring space that empowers them to become critical thinkers, innovators and lifelong learners.

Guided by the six pillars of STREAM - Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts and Math -kidSTREAM is grounded in the values of children, family, play, learning, community, diversity, equity, inclusion and sustainability.

Children
kidSTREAM is a child-led environment; their sense of wonder of the world around them is the underlying inspiration.

Family
While the environment of kidSTREAM is child-led, we believe that caregiver education is equally important for the child’s development. As we develop our space and programming, we will strive to create an environment that is appealing and respectful to both the child and the adults who support the child.

Play
kidSTREAM believes that play is the highest form of research and an essential component for healthy childhood development.

Learning
kidSTREAM’s learning philosophies are underlined by loose parts and active imaginations. We encourage wonder, questions, exploration, and invention. kidSTREAM strives to provide opportunities for this open-ended learning experience.

Community
Parents, teachers, and caregivers find support for their vital roles within kidSTREAM, and the whole community finds meaningful reflections of itself. Social and collaborative play are immediate opportunities to strengthen the local community.

Diversity, Equity, Access, Inclusion
kidSTREAM is committed to building a foundation of access, opportunity and success for children. To make this vision a reality, we seek to identify and remove systemic barriers and replace them with pathways to opportunity.

Sustainibility
Embedded within the logo of kidSTREAM is the triple bottom line of community, ecological, and economic sustainability. Our goal is to create a sustainable environment as we inspire the 21st century’s workforce of scientists, technicians, writers, engineers, artists and mathematicians.
