Discover a Nurturing Preschool Experience at Growing Seed
Growing Seed is dedicated to helping young children develop holistically through thoughtful preschool programs. We believe that the early years are foundational—not just academically, but socially, emotionally, and creatively. Our curriculum, teachers, and environment all work together to build a strong start for each child.
What Makes Our Preschool Program Unique
At Growing Seed, the preschool curriculum is based on the Reggio Emilia approach. This educational philosophy puts children at the heart of learning, emphasizing hands-on projects, collaboration, and following the child’s individual interests.
Rather than impose rigid, one-size-fits-all lessons, we allow preschoolers to explore, ask questions, and engage with real materials. Through art, science, dramatic play, language activities, and more, children build confidence and skills organically. Teachers act as guides, helping children discover rather than dictating what they must learn.
Holistic Development: More Than Just Academics
We understand that early childhood development isn’t just about reading or counting—it’s about growing the whole child. At Growing Seed, the following pillars are central:
- Cognitive development: Encouraging problem-solving, exploration, curiosity, and early literacy and math skills.
- Social & emotional growth: Fostering friendships, cooperation, empathy, and self-regulation.
- Physical development: Fine motor work (e.g., using art materials) and gross motor play (movement, outdoor time).
- Language & communication: Storytelling, conversations, vocabulary building, and early writing.
- Creativity & expression: Through art, music, dramatic play, etc., children express themselves and build confidence.
These domains are not separated—they interweave daily. For example, a project might combine art (creativity), group planning (social skills), vocabulary (language), and counting or measuring (cognitive skills).
Environment & Teachers: Safe, Inspiring, and Responsive
Our classrooms are designed to encourage exploration with safe materials, natural lighting, open spaces, and areas for quiet reflection and active play. Teachers are trained to observe each child, notice their interests, and adapt the learning environment accordingly.
We maintain low teacher-to-child ratios to ensure personalized attention. Each child is seen, heard, and supported as a unique individual. We believe this kind of response and care builds confidence, trust, and a true love of learning.
Why Choose a Private Preschool in Brookfield
For families in Brookfield, selecting the right preschool is one of the most important decisions you make. When you choose a private preschool in Brookfield like Growing Seed, you gain access to:
- Smaller class sizes and more individualized attention.
- A specialized, thoughtfully designed curriculum (such as Reggio Emilia) that may not be available in larger public preschools.
- Flexibility to accommodate different learning styles, family schedules, and child readiness.
- A community that values close collaboration with parents, respects family values and culture, and supports your child’s development in all areas.
Enrollment, Age Groups, & Daily Structure
We enroll preschoolers typically between ages 3 and 5. The preschool program includes full-day and half-day options, structured and play-based segments, plenty of free exploration, and teacher-led activities.
Each day is balanced: time for structured learning (circle time, literacy/math), exploratory work (science, art, sensory play), social and play interactions, as well as rest or calm times as needed. Snack, outdoor time, and hands-on learning are part of the routine. Parents are kept in the loop with regular updates, portfolios of children’s work, and chances to visit or observe.
Preparing for Kindergarten & Beyond
One of our key goals is to make sure children are “kindergarten-ready.” But being ready doesn’t just mean knowing letters and numbers—it means being confident, curious, socially capable, and emotionally resilient. We aim to help children:
- Adapt to group settings and routines
- Communicate with teachers and peers
- Demonstrate independence in daily tasks
- Show curiosity and persistence in learning
By the time your child transitions to kindergarten, they’ll have had many opportunities to grow in all these areas, supported by caring adults.
Conclusion
Choosing preschool is about more than daycare—it’s about where your child builds their first friendships, learns to explore, discovers passions, and develops character. A high-quality preschool program sets the stage for lifelong learning. Families seeking the best foundation for their child will find Growing Seed to be a warm, nurturing, and inspiring choice.
