Nurturing and leading young lives – through our personhood, the outdoors, and good literature.
who are we?
Come and Join Us!
Have you ever noticed how the wildflowers dance to the beat of the wind? Or how the morning dew drops rest delicately on grass like diamonds?
Beauty is all around us, if we learn to slow down and take it in. Words give us the ability to express that beauty, and to share it with others.
There’s so much to learn and experience in the outdoors. And so many good stories to tell!
Come join us for a day of sunshine and fun!
Why Gentle Seeds?
Our Growth Areas
“A full six-years of passive receptive life, the waking part of it, for the most part, spent out in the fresh air.”
– Charlotte Mason –
- Observation Skills The habit of attention and training of sensory experiences. A kingfisher and a carpenter bee are not easy to spot, unlike the close up photos we so often see. Besides, the outdoors is a health remedy to a digitalised world.
- Empathy Each interaction affords children many opportunities to care for others and nature.
The question is not, — how much does the youth know? when he has finished his education — but how much does he care? and about how many orders of things does he care?
- Social Skills Ooo...I want to eat my friend's snack. Oh how should I ask? What is her name anyway? We will gently guide the children’s interaction with one another to equip them with the skills — clearly, then, a teacher cannot form and train a student by staying in the shadow.
- Building Confidence Being in nature has a way of pacing with each child, receiving them as they are. Over time, the children feel safe to fully express themselves in the outdoors.
- Sparking Curiousity is simply feeding the children one question at a time. Children, where did this seed pod came from? What is inside it? What is it's texture?
- Nature Journaling The act of connecting what they observed and experienced onto paper, be it through simple shapes or 'abstract art'. It is beautiful to see these budding artists produce their master pieces.
