About Seedling Grove Preschool

Seedling Grove Preschool provides a nurturing environment for developing wonder and emotional/social skills in young children. We ensure this by:

  • Prioritizing a secure attachment between provider(s) and your child.

  • Spending ample time in nature.

  • Focusing on seasonal explorations and daily life as curriculum.

  • Providing a daily rhythm focused first on connective care needs such as meals, nap, potty training, etc.

  • Modeling/guiding social interactions with positive language and simple consistent boundaries

  • Offering seasonal stories, songs, movement, crafting, cooking, sensory, and mindfulness explorations.

  • Providing high quality, home cooked meals, that older children are invited to help prepare.

  • Wash Your Hands! Song

    “Tops and bottoms, tops and bottoms. In betweens, in betweens.

    Roll them all around now. Roll them all around now.

    Rinse them clean! Rinse them clean!”

    To the tune of “London Bridges”

  • “Keri has been like a member of our family: always with children's best interests at heart, guiding with love and clarity. We couldn't have asked for a better start for our kids!”

    -Rachel

  • “Keri offers a warm, calm, structured yet adaptable rhythm and safe space for babies and kids. My son began with Keri’s Tiny Tree Seedling Grove program when he was just 4 months old, and was part of her program when our family was in Homer until the summer before he began Kindergarten. A huge bonus was knowing that the snacks and lunch provided were so healthy and yummy! I recommend Keri to all my new parent friends! We feel very lucky to have been part of the Seedling Grove community for so many years.”

    -Dorothy

  • “Keri is an expert early childhood educator. She created a homey, multi-age space where our 3-year old felt very comfortable—and ate very well! We credit Keri with facilitating a peaceful transition from a home environment to big kid school.”

    -Bianca

  • “ Forest school came up in conversation the other day and -former student- said, “Ms. Keri’s was my FAVORITE preschool!” <3 She’s 7, going into 2nd grade this fall. And she fondly remembers her time with you. We still have little treasures and artwork from Seedling Grove in nooks and dangling in windows."
