Tuition and Enrollment
Infant and Toddlers' House (current cohort of children born between December 2023-May 2024)
Seedlings Playschool Infants Room started a new cohort in August of 2024, with a small cohort of six infants. We are a RIE-inspired program, focused on respectful care for infants, in a small cohort environment. We will be opening up two more spots in this cohort in Winter or Spring of the coming year, for children born between December and May of 2024. Please fill out the following form if you would like to be placed on the waitlist for our Infants Room. Tours for the Infants Room will be scheduled in the Fall.
