FAMILIES TALK ABOUT SEEDLINGS
My 4 year old has been attending Seedlings Preschool for 3 months now and is so fulfilled.
The moment I walked into the school I could tell that it was a holistic, peaceful learning environment where kids loved to be. It is also extremely clean, which I personally really appreciate as a healthcare worker. There are so many great things that teacher Debbie offers the kids. She is an amazing listener to both children and their adults, and she has a wonderful down to earth and calm demeanor. She is truly a master of her trade with the children. Picture kids peacefully painting and chatting together at a children's table, with gentle music playing in the background. Encouraging conversation and learning amongst the small children by asking them thoughtful questions about what they are doing. The children calmly immersed in the artistic and social activity together.
With the help of her teacher, over the last 3 months I have seen my extremely shy observer start to find a voice and feel stronger in the group. I have seen her express herself and ask for what she needs with confidence while at school. I have seen her go from being reluctant to approach people to feeling excited to talk to people and share her ideas.

"I really do feel that Martin is doing so well right now because he developed such a strong foundation of friendship, respect, and communication at Seedlings. All of my kids went to university child care centers, that prided themselves for their "cutting edge" curriculum and philosophies, but it wasn't until Martin started with you that I realized that those larger settings were just missing something. His time at Seedlings was special and really prepared him for public school in ways that I think we don't realize. He was really able to develop a deeper appreciation for who he is, and all that is in his world. I just cherish his time with you so much!!!"

"Debbie does such a wonderful job of getting to know each child - identifying their strengths and encouraging them to grow and mature, helping to guide them through new social situations, teaching them how to behave in a school setting, yet never compromising their individuality. The small size of the school allows for projects and experiences not possible at larger schools. What I like best about Seedlings is that, quite simply, all of the children are allowed and encouraged to be themselves."

"We Started SEEDLINGS when our daughter was not quite 3. It was clear that attention was given to each child's particular personality and strengths. She really thrived in this small group. She loved it there; the music time, gardening together, sharing healthy foods and participating as a little community of children who assisted each other and formed strong bonds, even outside of the preschool setting were some of the positives.
The small, focused atmosphere had a well-measured blend of structured projects in art, cooking, and fun science, with tons of free play and picnics in the beautiful, shaded backyard.
When we had our first parent-teacher conference at Kindergarten and heard about how focused our kiddo was in class, we immediately thought 'That was Seedlings!' We would recommend this preschool without reservation."
