Testimonials

This is a marvelous and innovative place that is in a class of it's own! It has long proven to be a premier source for learning, growth, nurturing and inspiration, within and for, it's entire community of families, children, teachers, volunteers and administrators. I know whereof I speak...both of my grandchildren have really thrived and benefited immensely from their rich and varied experiences there, including my granddaughter who has Special Needs.

We have attended this school for several years now and are constantly impressed by the individual attention each learner is given. This school works hard to nurture not only children, but families and community as well. Children are gently guided in the practices of kindness and gratitude beginning at the tender age of three. Love of learning is fostered daily. This school is an amazing treasure hidden away in Clark County.

I am so thankful to have found this school-I wish we had enrolled sooner. It is not only a supportive community for my kids to grow but also a place I feel supported as a parent trying to navigate life with littles. The co-op allows me to be involved and also gives them the opportunity to have space away from me so they can learn from others in a fun environment. I am looking forward to watching my kids blossom as time goes on and enjoy all the time I get to spend trying to help the other kids, and school, grow. I can not recommend this place enough!

Clark County Friends, spread the word! Sprouting Seeds is a place school-aged children will learn and develop through an experienced- based learning environment. Kids of Sprouting Seeds learn through their senses and capacities. Open- ended learning experiences allow for multi-age learning communities where generations of families learn together. Children are invited to integrate language arts, social studies, mathematics, science, sculpture, writing, physical movement, data keeping, singing, gardening, dancing, and more. Perhaps this is the moment something else looks interesting for your child's education. Look no further for an alternative.
