RaynWater STEAM is a nature- and community-focused enrichment program that aims to enhance the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics experiences of children while integrating the arts (STEAM). We strive to be a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment. We work to attain our mission statement by:
providing authentic, real-world, and child-driven STEAM exploration, play, and problem
solving. maintaining a safe physical, social, and emotional environment for children with caring adults who value all students’ perspectives and experiences. building positive relationships with our program families and the local community. promoting cooperation, collaboration, and respect among children and between children and adults, including specialists, professionals, teachers, and people of diverse backgrounds. engaging children in creative and innovative problem solving that promotes their own and others’ curiosity and wondering about the world around them. continually learning, evaluating, and reflecting on our teaching and curriculum, its impact on the children in our care, and its correlation to our mission and goals.
