I was impressed with how the three teachers who were leading the nature walk made the effort to encourage the child to participate actively without pressuring them if they were not ready. Despite there being a planned programme, the walk was idyllic and my child and I were free to explore at our own pace. Finally, the book reading on a lawn surrounded by trees at the end of the walk..
Since early January 2023, we have been at Gentleseeds. Our child has experienced tremendous growth, becoming more enthusiastic and curious. Being in close proximity to nature has been eye-opening experience for him, allowing him to make new friends. He throughly enjoys himself, especially when it rains. He loves dancing under the rain and carrying a wooden stick from a tree wherever he goes. We appreciate the teacher’s patience and understanding..
He looks forward to nature walk with the teachers each week and I think that already says a lot about what the team at Gentle Seeds is doing right. I love that the teachers are very intentional in getting to know and love on each child as an individual and I can see that each child is very comfortable to be themselves during the walks! The teachers have also shown.
My daughter loves the nature explore every Saturday. It is the best outdoor activity for the kid. Highly recommended.
My kids (2&4yo) look forward to their outdoor school with Teacher Madeline every time! She’s patient with them and encourages them to walk, follow and learn at their own pace. Appreciate her love for the children..
I'm so glad to have chanced upon Gentle Seeds. My 3.5 year old was very quickly comfortable with the teachers who helped her assimilate into the class comfortably despite never having attended classes of such nature before. I really appreciate that every lesson is different and the lesson planning really takes advantage of what the park has to offer to optimise learning for the kids. Really love that my urban.
