About this preschool

Seedlings is a play-based, child-centered preschool program that emphasizes learning through play, developmentally appropriate activities, and building social-emotional skills. The program serves infants through pre-kindergarten-aged children with classes organized by age and developmental stage.

Philosophy
At Seedlings, we foster children's development by using a play-based, child centered approach while still offering a daily schedule filled with opportunities for children to learn. We utilize learning areas such as free play, art, science, literacy, math and circle time. We emphasize the process rather than the product. Our teachers design developmentally appropriate activities which ensure the child's success in attempting and accomplishing new tasks. Our goal is to build a sense of belonging, competency and self-reliance with a special emphasis on building problem solving skills and self-esteem.
