Growing Seeds Learning Community

Our mission is providing families, children and staff a learning community in which all participants develop through a spiral dance of observation, inquiry, reflection and documentation. We create an intentional environment where each participant is respected as a responsible contributing member in our community. We see the participants as co-researchers, co-learners and collaborators in the building of our community.

Prospective Parents

We currently enroll off of a waitlist. To get on the waitlist you must attend a tour. Please refer to the Calendar for upcoming tour information. Please download and bring to the tour this waitlist form. When you arrive for your tour:

To attend an open house there is no need to RSVP. Children are welcome and we ask that you assist your children in leaving the classrooms in the condition you found them in. We also require that food be consumed at home.

Enrollment and Waitlist Form

When adding a family to the waitlist we file the form according to your child's birthday or expected DOB and in order by date we received the form, including the $20 waitlist fee.

Every September when our oldest students graduate we have a shift between all of the classrooms. This is often when we offer enrollment to families on the waitlist. Rarely are there opportunities for enrollment throughout other times of the year.
