The Seaside Playgarden Preschool INC

The Playgarden is absolutely the best place for children 2.5 to 6 years old. I currently have two children there and a third will be joining them soon. There is no better place for your child to play outside for hours on end and and it is one of the only places I have seen where the children never want to go home. They teach children through rhythm, songs, stories, domestic arts, imaginative play and take weekly field trips to the beach and local playground. I can't say enough about this preschool except that my children are the sweetest and most smiley after a day at the Playgarden. We love it!!!!

This dear sweet Playgarden by the Sea is an organic haven for early childhood education. The organic food and natural environment feeds all the senses of the growing child. The teacher's deep wisdom allows them to connect with love with each child and provide a nourishing space for each child to be inspired to learn and move with confidence. The curriculum follows the seasons of the year creating a deep sense of reverence for community and the Earth we live in. The children graduating from this preschool haven are good stewards to our planet, kind to one another, creative, excited to learn and carry a deep strong core giving them balance within themselves to grow.

This preschool and kindergarten is truly one of a kind. No one place can educate in a homelike setting like The Playgarden. While being homelike it still provides an environment that educates through play and natural occurrence learning. Their forest program is the only one in the SE USA. No one offers anything like them. All of my kids will go here for years to come.

My daughter Zophia went here for 4 wonderful years! She is now a thriving 4th grader with amazing artistic skills, incredible balance, a great sense of self, strong intellectual capacities and she is an impeccable problem solver. I highly recommend this school to any child starting at age 2 and 1/2. The community is wonderful for the whole family and once you enroll your child, you may have just found a wonderful new place to call home! The wisdom the teachers carry is astounding being led by Miss Adana in the cottage with a true organic food program, and a strong rhythm of the seasons.The Forest Program with Miss Anna and Miss Natalie is stellar. Carrying story and song into the woods makes this Forest Kindergarten a dream come true. The children learn and play in community and the Playgarden fosters life long learning immersed in the natural world. These children grow up with the dearest of friends and grow to be true stewards for the Earth.
