Seedling Enrichment Program
Seedlings is a weekly nature-based drop-off program for children ages 5 to 8, rooted in connection, play, and belonging.
Children spend their days exploring the outdoors, creating, building friendships, and engaging in meaningful experiences with both peers and elders, all held within a consistent rhythm that supports their natural curiosity and growth.
Drop-off Rhythm
Our days are gently balanced between indoor and outdoor experiences.
About half of our time is spent indoors, where children play games, dive into imaginative worlds, create through hands-on crafting, and take part in seasonal activities that reflect the rhythms of the year.
Outdoor time is devoted to exploring and playing in our beloved 22-acre nature space near my home. Here, children move freely, observe the living world around them, and build a deep, embodied connection to place through unstructured play and guided exploration.
A core vision of Amy’s work is to build meaningful relationships across generations. Seedlings children visit Maple Springs Retirement Center throughout the month, spending time with residents through shared activities like stories, art, music, and simple conversations.
We also regularly connect with neighbors in our community, including elders we greet and visit with in the park during our outdoor learning days.
Amy invites community members to share something they love, whether it’s a story, a skill, a craft, a lifelong interest, or a simple moment of presence.
These visits and shared experiences create gentle mentorship opportunities, where children learn through listening, observing, and participating alongside older adults.
This approach honors elders as valuable teachers and keeps their wisdom present in everyday life, while helping children feel seen, respected, and connected to the wider community.
