Seedling Enrichment Program
Seedlings is a weekly drop-off program for children ages
5 to 8, led by Amy Rupp. It focuses on hands-on learning, nature connection, and social-emotional development.
I follow a rhythm that supports a child’s natural desire to explore, learn, play, and build continues relationships with the same group of peers.
Families can also choose to join Wandering Roots, an extension of the program that offers additional opportunities for exploration and connection.
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 natural spaces, including a 22-acre park near our 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 is to build meaningful relationships between generations. Seedlings children visit Maple Springs Retirement Center throughout the month and regularly interact with nearby neighbors, many of whom are elders we greet and spend time with in the park. Amy invites community members to share something they love, from stories and skills to crafts and lifelong interests. These moments create a gentle mentorship, rooted in care and presence, where children feel valued and elders are honored, fostering a deep sense of place, belonging, and connection across generations.
