ADDITIONAL FOLLOW UP IS GENERALLY NOT CONSIDERED NECESSARY. Form 990, Part III, Line 1 ORGANIZATION'S MISSION We believe connecting with nature nourishes the child's mind, body and soul. Wonderbloom's mission is four-fold. First, create opportunities for children of all backgrounds to have access to nature-based, environmentally-friendly learning through Wonderbloom Nature Playschool. Next, provide training and support so other early childhood educators competently incorporate and implement nature-based educational approaches in their own programs. Furthermore, enrich and expand the empirical basis for nature-based learning. Finally, lend credibility and support for licensing bodies and regulators to incorporate nature-based learning approaches into their decision-making. We have two guiding values: Focus on high-risk or underserved populations - including children that are low-income, BIPOC, and have special needs. In addition, incorporate eco-friendly practices and materials and support companies/organizations who are eco-friendly.
