Established in 1907, Sunbeam is Oklahoma’s longest-serving social service agency. Sunbeam helps nearly 8,000 central Oklahoma children and families learn, grow, and thrive each year. Its traditional foster care agency provides temporary care and supportive services in a home environment for children. Sunbeam also prepares 704 babies and toddlers to enter kindergarten through full-day, year-round early care and education. Children and families in the program participate in research-based curriculum, family engagement activities, and health and wellness events. Sliding scale mental health services are also available through individual, family, group, and play therapy in the mental health program. Sunbeam acquired the Edwards Early Education Center (EEC) to serve as the NEOKC hub for Sunbeam programs, including mental health services, support for grandparents raising grandchildren, and foster care services. Each year, more than 550 individuals will be served through Edwards EEC.
