Seeds' Daily Rhythm

Seeds Class

A  morning  Forest  School  program  for  budding  naturalists.

The days of early childhood should be filled with the right to choose, move, create, be read to, sing, connect, be outside, ask questions, observe, discuss, reflect, express feelings, make mistakes, and solve problems—all accomplished while playing.

 

Play-based learning invites your child to:

​

  • Learn how to solve problems through dedicated periods of Adventure Play (unstructured time).

 ​

  • Practice focus, flexible thinking, and self-regulation as they plan, adapt, and carry out their ideas.

​​

  • Enhance cognitive and process skills.

 

  • Enjoy a rich, hands-on foundation for growth and development.

​​

  • Explore foundational concepts in biology, physics, and Earth sciences.

​​

  • Begin to investigate literacy through storytelling, vocabulary, and meaningful communication.

​​

  • Connect with passionate educators who value and understand the learning process.​​

The intention of our Forest School is to invite young explorers to take their first steps into the world of outdoor learning and play on a 10-month journey.
