Whether it be music, computer skills, art, movement, science, or math, Little Seeds of Carroll Gardens offers exceptional programs in these areas that both challenge children and encourage them to explore the world around them all while having an immense amount of fun. Little Seeds incorporated play-based learning programs and the results were impressive from the very beginning. The childcare center is open on a daily basis all year-round and offers care and classes for children aged three months to five years. Little Seeds has quickly become a center for innovation that has parents thrilled with their children’s successes and newfound love of learning.

Play-based learning emerged several thousand years ago and has continued to grow and develop as a science in recent decades. This form of learning is a blending of education and psychology that helps a child develop their creativity, imagination, and the subjects the game is teaching, such as math or science. The play-based learning encourages teamwork, socialization, new experiences, skill repetition/improvement, and challenges limits to what children think they are capable of in a positive environment. Studies have shown that incorporating this type of learning increases concentration, material retention, creativity, pre-literacy skills in addition to developing social and emotional skills.

Little Seeds of Carroll Gardens implements this strategy in every program and endeavor to ensure the success of the children under their care. In the science program, children learn how to make playdoh and how a caterpillar metamorphoses. In music, the class participates in fun songs, activities, and movements that all facilitate memory, rhyming, and musical growth. The learning is never confined to just the classroom. By incorporating field trips, Little Seeds introduced more fun and learning into their daily lives by showing them sights, such as the Museum of Natural History and the New York Aquarium, that teach students about their community and its rich history.

Little Seeds is on a mission to provide the best of the best in childcare programs while ensuring they are equipped with a safe, fun, and encouraging environment. The center has accomplished the near impossible of showing children that learning, no matter the subject, can be fun and that anything is achievable with the right amount of effort and skills. While Little Seeds provides programs for children in groups no child is without personalized help or instruction. The instructors know that every person no matter their age learns differently and encourages children to find the way that works best and then caters their programs to their personal style. Nowhere else in New York City can a person find a more caring, engaging, and successful childcare center than Little Seeds of Carroll Gardens.
