A Gentle Beginning to a Lifelong Journey – Welcome to Moonbeams Academy

a Waldorf-inspired community in Albuquerque offering gentle, play-based drop-off programs for children ages 3–12, parent-child classes for babies ages 0–3, seasonal camps, bosque walks, and community gatherings rooted in joy, connection, and wonder.

What makes Moonbeams different?

At Moonbeams, we honor the kingdom of childhood through storytelling, handcrafts, music, gardening, imaginative play, and meaningful daily rhythms. We celebrate the changing of the seasons through festivals and traditions that bring families together throughout the year.

As the first forest school in Albuquerque, we believe deeply in children being outdoors and in relationship with the natural world.

Our children spend abundant time outside, caring for the earth and connecting with the rhythms of nature.

We serve mostly organic, wholesome foods, with an emphasis on local and garden-grown ingredients whenever possible.

Guided by Heart: Taught by Waldorf-Inspired Teachers

We strive to create an environment where childhood is protected and honored through healthy living, conscious media use, meaningful work and play, and a gentle, warm atmosphere. We seek to allow each child to unfold naturally and unhurriedly while families build meaningful community and shared values together.

Our website is currently under construction, but we welcome families to reach out and connect with us about our programs, philosophy, and upcoming offerings.
