The Seed Starts Here
At our childcare center, we prioritize the holistic development of children through a comprehensive focus on nutrition and physical activity. Embracing a plant-based ethos, our center integrates education about healthy eating habits through hands-on experiences in our greenhouse and courtyard garden, fostering a deep understanding of nutrition from a young age. Moreover, our commitment extends beyond the classroom with the presence of a community health food store, ensuring that families have access to nutritious options. Led by an occupational therapist owner, our approach seamlessly integrates movement and motor development into every aspect of our students' daily routines. By nurturing healthy bodies and minds, we believe we are laying the foundation for lifelong well-being and success.

Physical Movement
A few examples of our dedication to healthy bodies
01
Daily Outside Time
Daily outdoor time is vital for young children's development on multiple levels. Beyond the physical benefits of fresh air and exercise, outdoor play stimulates sensory exploration, fosters creativity, and enhances social skills through interaction with peers. Nature provides a rich learning environment that promotes curiosity and problem-solving, nurturing holistic growth in children
03
Different Seating Styles
Offering a variety of seating styles in an educational setting provides numerous benefits for young children's development. Different seating options such as yoga ball chairs, benches, individual seats, and wobble seats allow children to choose what suits their comfort and concentration levels best. This not only promotes better posture and core strength but also encourages movement and flexibility, enhancing overall physical health. Additionally, diverse seating arrangements accommodate various learning preferences and sensory needs, fostering engagement and attentiveness in the classroom. By embracing such versatility in seating, we create a dynamic learning environment that supports children's well-being and academic success
02
Music Class
Music and movement classes play a crucial role in young children's development by fostering a myriad of skills. Through rhythm, melody, and dance, children not only enhance their motor skills but also refine their coordination and balance. Moreover, engaging with music stimulates cognitive development, including language acquisition and mathematical reasoning. These classes also provide valuable opportunities for social interaction and self-expression, laying a strong foundation for emotional and social intelligence
04
Planned Movement Breaks
Recognizing and planning for movement breaks throughout the day is paramount in supporting young children's learning and well-being. These breaks allow children to release pent-up energy, refocus their attention, and recharge their minds for continued engagement in learning activities. By incorporating movement breaks, our teachers not only promote physical health and motor development but also create opportunities for cognitive processing and emotional regulation. These intentional breaks empower children to maintain optimal levels of concentration and participation, ultimately enhancing their overall educational experience.
