Philosophy and Vision

Carrot Seed Preschool -a safe and caring environment in which children can wonder, discover, imagine, construct, and learn through play.

  • We believe that the primary importance is the development of the whole child
  • At Carrot Seed, we provide a wonderfully rich inclusive environment for children to play, explore, and grow as independent and self-directed individuals.
  • Children need to run, jump and climb freely outdoors for healthy brain development. Our beautiful, spacious playground provides this opportunity.
  • We believe that children must be able to explore diverse settings by involving as many communities and experiences that will create open minded children.
  • We support the child’s right to learn through play.
  • Our program is child directed and teacher supported. We encourage children to make decisions independently and as a community, with guidance and assistance from teachers.
  •  Carrot Seed is a very inclusive environment in which all are welcome.
  • Carrot Seed is emotionally, socially, and physically safe for all children. We promote creative, imaginative, and cooperative environments.
  • We offer an unstructured art program where the child is the explorer and the creator. There are no right and wrong ways to use art materials when they are creating their visions
  • We are an open door school; families are welcome to drop in anytime to observe your child or our program.

“For children, this is just a whisper, a brief moment, in which they can enjoy the richness of childhood spaces” – Bev Bos
