Sonbeam Day Care is a not-for-profit childcare program with preschool provided for all children enrolled. The Center was started by Temple Baptist Church twenty years ago to provide care for the many children represented by the employees in the Lloyd Center community. However, many families from outside this area have realized the convenience of our location to the downtown and many other areas serviced by public transportation. The MAX line delivers people to within four short blocks of Sonbeam and we are located within the free square for parents driving to parking near our facility and hopping the free ride into downtown Portland. Sonbeam Day Care is a developmentally-based daycare center. The main floor is separated into learning centers and classrooms by moveable dividers. Learning centers are designed with appropriate materials to stimulate normal development of the child from 2 1/2 years through kindergarten age. Materials are provided for the child to use according to his or her developmental level of skill and complexity. Children are encouraged, through guidance in their play, to explore the various areas and use materials at a level corresponding to each child's developmental stage and age Teachers are aware of developmental ages and stages of the children whom they are guiding, and encourage each child to practice new skills, feel confident about already developed skills, and give suggestions for exploring the next skill to develop.

Nikki B. says "Sonbeam helped me raise my kids. I could have not survived without them. The teachers were kind, creative and felt like family. They taught my kids...
