FAQs for Parents
-
Our services are for children in preschool. Most of our students are between two-years-old and five-years-old.
-
Learning Seeds does not require any particular diagnosis to participate in our services. We work with two to five-year-olds with social and communication struggles. Our students benefit from play and social skills coaching to help them increase their social connections.
We work with children who are sometimes perceived as struggling, shy, rambunctious, or hard to engage. We also have experience with children with a variety of social and communication diagnoses including Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Executive function disorder (EFD), Nonverbal learning disorder (NVLD), etc.

Because our philosophy is to support children in inclusive settings, we do not have a clinic and we do not offer social skills groups. We work with children in their local communities in settings where a child spends time, such as a neighborhood playground, school, afterschool program, or camp.

For parents with a concern about their child’s ability to engage socially and make friends, we offer a one-hour consultation to brainstorm priorities and solutions. Consultations are an opportunity to discuss the behaviors parents see at home and/or at school. The conversation will focus on strengths-based, motivational strategies for families to ‘try and see’ instead of ‘waiting and seeing’. Contact us to request a consultation.

Reach out to us as soon as possible because options are limited once expulsion is imminent.

Learning Seeds specializes in working with children who withdraw or isolate from groups. We work with children to enable them to have positive social experiences, build more self-efficacy, and deepen their sense of identity within the context of a group. Reach out to us as soon as possible when your school lets you know your child is struggling because options are limited if expulsion becomes imminent.

Reach out to us as soon as possible when your school lets you know your child is having conflicts. It’s better to reach out sooner because options are limited once expulsion becomes imminent. Learning Seeds works with children to enable them to have positive social experiences, build more self-efficacy, and deepen their sense of identity within the context of a group.

Families hire Learning Seeds to provide play support for their child. These playdates are part of our package of services. The child sometimes invites a peer to join in the playdate!
Hosted by a parent of a Learning Seeds child, you and your child will simply get to enjoy a playdate that often has more giggles, more cooperation, and smoother transitions, thanks to the active support of our expert play coach.
