Seedlings play garden is a home away from home. Having my 2 1/2 year-old attend Seedlings with Miss Julie is the best decision I have made. When I was looking for a place for my son, I didn't want a large daycare style place that was too overwhelming for my son. That's when I found seedlings. Small, cozy, gentle, and encouraging, seedlings is A Waldorf inspired play garden that encourages my son to appreciate each season, and become aware of his body, heart and spirit.
Not only does Seedlings have a homey feel, there is a cute backyard with chickens, and inside my son gets to play with guinea pigs and adorable wooden and make homemade toys. When not at the home, my son has loved walking to the beautiful park nearby for the weekly nature day activity. Having a solid gentle with him has offered grounding in peace to not only my son, but for me as well.
Another one of my favorite things about Seedlings is the encouragement to eat delicious and natural foods. I remember during the first week, I smelled such incredibly rich aromas coming from the kitchen. And my little boy also gets to learn how to make the meals himself! It is also fun to bring a flower from our garden and watch how the boquet for their meal table grows with each flower from each family.
When my son first attended and was hesitant to be somewhere new, Miss Julie did not allow many tears, but held my son clothes in her arms, singing to him, and giving him warm reassurance. He has by far increased his self-confidence and self-esteem. I cannot thank Miss Julie enough for her gift as an incredibly loving care giver.
Knowing that she is a mother herself was comforting and showed me that she really personally lives what she practices professionally. She's become the mother my son's needs when I am not there, and it has allowed me the freedom to pursue my personal and professional goals. We love you, Miss Juli! read more
