  • Working 1:1 with an Enlightened Shadow enabled my child, who was previously struggling, to make friends.

    - Susan, parent of a 5-year-old boy (Learning Seeds member since 2021)

Testimonials

  • "Learning Seeds has the potential to revolutionize kindergarten readiness because of their focus on the individual child. The skills that my child developed during his time with Learning Seeds helped him to feel like a good friend, like somebody who could socialize and play and engage with the group."

    Becca, parent

  • "Learning Seeds are the detectives who can spot precursors to behavioral challenges. They understand how to identify the motivation behind a child's moment-to-moment interactions."

    Sarah, preschool director

  • "While some interventions tend to focus on one specific area such as OT or Speech and Language, Learning Seeds takes a more integrative approach. The Learning Seeds team has gotten to know my child as a whole, from many perspectives, as opposed to just one perspective."

    Sue, parent

  • "We saw more improvement in 10 weeks with the Learning Seeds program than with 9 years of in-person coaching with the most widely-used solution."

    PreK teacher mentor

  • "Learning Seeds made the child the first person instead of the adult telling the kids what to do. They went with how the child was feeling and allowed the child to build the story."

    Tamara, teacher

  • "We learned so much from watching how the Learning Seeds Enlightened Shadows interact and play with the children – making activities more inclusive, giving everyone their own parts, making it a group activity, getting the kids used to doing things all together."

    Shea, lead teacher

  • "Words cannot describe how many changes I witnessed in my son as a direct result of Learning Seeds' intervention. I now have a very talkative and social eight-year-old who is learning so much every day."

    Laurie, parent

  • "The Learning Seeds team has been a wonderful support to me since my son was diagnosed with PDD-NOS. They have helped me find my footing amidst a new world of evaluations, therapies and acronyms, and offered to troubleshoot some of the specific issues we were having at home. A struggle in our daily life isn't so hard anymore."

    Tara, parent
