About the Provider

Description:

Childhood is a magical time, full of wonder and the joy of discovery. At Seedlings, we provide an environment that inspires children’s natural curiosity from infancy through early childhood. Experienced, caring teachers support children as they grow on the path of self-discovery.

We believe that every child has a unique temperament, personality, preferences, and abilities. We maintain a basic trust in the child to be an initiator, explorer, and self- learner. Each age and developmental stage in a child’s life is unique. Our teachers understand the joys and challenges of every phase, and provide learning opportunities that support the development of the whole child.
