After a bit of a break to deal with personal and health issues, Tiny Seeds Learning Center is ENROLLING NOW!

Open Monday-Friday from 8am-4pm (operating hours did change) and located in my Brandon home; Tiny Seeds offers a full curriculum of hands on learning experiences as well as plenty of play opportunities for your little learners. Our small class size allows for lots of one on one learning, nurturing, and play.

Why Tiny Seeds?

In a Montessori meets Waldorf and RIE learning approach I plan to teach your child to be independent and focus on hands on, real life experiences all while still following a loose enough curriculum and schedule to allow for lots of learning through play.

I believe the best place to learn is outside, through nature and therefore plan to incorporate outside play and learning in our daily schedule. We love to get out and explore, rain or shine!

I believe in the importance of incorporating Faith into our everyday lives and plan to teach children about our amazing Lord and how to do
God’s work starting with Morning Devotions and Prayers.

I believe in the importance of natural, organic foods and products. I believe in order for your “Tiny Seed” to grow to their full potential, developmentally and physically, they need the best quality food and care. I cannot wait to grow our own foods together.

I hope to learn just as much from your child by letting them take the lead and allowing him/her to show me what interests them as well as how they learn best while encouraging independence and freedom. I hope to spend many hours playing and laughing together.

My rates are affordable. I believe all children are entitled to the best childcare and their parents shouldn’t have to go broke trying find the best care possible.

My hours can be somewhat flexibile to better ensure the needs of care can be met for families of all different dynamics.

About Me!

I am Nikki, a Jesus praising and arrow(ish) raising Mom to five, and happily married to my husband, Brett. I have lots of experience with children both my own and children I have provided care for in numerous capacities.

I have previous experience working as a Special Education Paraprofessional as well as a Behavioral Therapist, Respite Worker, and a Lead Child Care Teacher at a local daycare.

Past Tiny Seeds families, if you did not receive your end of the year tax forms around April 11th, please send me a message with your name and current address so I can send them out myself this week. I deeply apologize for this. We had hired a tax preparer/book keeper this year and it seems these forms did not get sent out to at least one family when we were told that they would be.

“Childhood is not a race to see how quickly a child can read, write and count. It is a small window of time to learn and develop at the pace that is right for each individual child. Earlier is not better. ”

Tiny Seeds is officially seen as a Private School in the Brandon-Rosendale School District! 😀

Tiny Seeds was NEVER meant to be a daycare service but a learning center for children to learn and grow in a Nature and Faith based Montessori style! ❤️

We do not have to follow the strict and sometimes ridiculous DCF licensing rules, can maintain our Montessori way of life, and learn together in the best way possible, AS OUR OWN TINY SCHOOL! 🏫

We have curriculum for kids ages infants and up and that curriculum is designed to meet your kiddo right where they are! 👦🏼 🧒🏼 👧🏼

This being said, we no longer have a “gap” on the number of kids we can take and will have openings to take on more friends (18 months and up only) after September 1st! 🍎

It isn’t just all chores here at Tiny Seeds, sometimes we have fun!

Our students LOVE feeding our pets, watering the garden and picking our own food, serving themselves, making our own food, and composting

BUT they also love treasure hunts, dress up, swimming, playing outside, and our Nugget forts!

What has been your favorite part of summer so far? Are you sad it’s nearly over? I know we are!
