EDUCATING AND
NURTURING THE WHOLE CHILD

Sunseeds Playgarden is a place where the love for child’s play is honored and held sacred. It is a place for children to feel free to live into their senses, a place where they can experience the joy and wonder of nature while their imagination flourishes. It is a bridge between home and the world beyond the home which fosters a rich engagement with all that is wholesome and natural.

Preschool & Kindergarten

Now Enrolling for the 2025-26 school year!

Our warm and nurturing environment helps to foster a love for learning through joy and simplicity. We spend at least an hour outdoors each day and cultivate a sense of connection with the elements. Children engage with nature through our indoor nature table, as well as during  outdoor sand play, mud play, playing in the rain, and learning to respect the wisdom of nature.

Summer Camp

Camps at Sunseeds offer a gentle daily rhythm, and a sense of ease and peace beneath our beloved forest canopy. The children enjoy water play, digging in the sandbox, and making simple crafts as they make new friends and connect with old friends too!
