- Outdoor time twice a day, rain or shine

Does my child need to be potty trained?
Not in Seedlings. From Sprouts (age 3) we partner with families on potty training.

Children stay home with a fever over 100.4°F and return after 24 hours fever-free.
How does the waitlist work?
Join for free; we offer spots by sibling priority, then the date you joined.
