About this preschool

Community Seedlings Preschool is a Reggio-inspired preschool that emphasizes children as active builders of meaning through hands-on exploration and discovery. The school focuses on curiosity-driven learning, open-ended materials, community development, and critical thinking.

Philosophy
Children learn much like engineers and coders, gathering information, building mental models, testing ideas, and revising understanding. Learning is an active, iterative design process where young minds construct and strengthen understanding through interaction with their environment. Children explore creativity and problem-solving through hands-on experiences, building knowledge through curiosity and wonder while being encouraged to become critical thinkers. Developing community is a core foundation where children form understanding of themselves and their place in the world through interactions with others.
Outdoor
Children climb and play in trees; school includes garden with tomato plants and outdoor exploration activities.
