Seeds of Growth
Explore the programs, enrichment classes & support groups we offer our seeds.
The Seed Pod
The Seed Pod is a PDA-Friendly Social Group for Neurodivergent Kids
The Seed Pod is a warm, inclusive social group for neurodivergent children ages 5–10—especially those with a PDA profile—who thrive in gentle, low-pressure environments. We gather every other Saturday to build trust, consistency, and a sense of belonging, all at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
Each session offers a range of open-ended activities designed to spark curiosity and invite natural engagement—things like nature play, creative art, sensory exploration, and imaginative games. Our trained, PDA-aware staff follow each child’s lead, offering gentle encouragement when they’re regulated and ready, and giving space when they need it.
Some kids jump right in. Others take their time. All are welcome, and all are supported—just as they are.
At The Seed Pod, friendships blossom slowly, safely, and on each child’s terms. It’s a space where being yourself is more than enough.
The Knowledge Seed
The Knowledge Seed An Inclusive, PDA-Friendly Homeschool Co-op
The Knowledge Seed is a gentle, inclusive homeschool co-op designed for children ages 5–10 of all neurotypes, with a special emphasis on supporting PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) profiles. Meeting on Tuesdays and Thursdays, it offers a low-demand, connection-centered learning environment that complements any homeschool journey.
Led by PDA-aware educators, we provide academic support across all core subjects, including science, reading, writing, and language arts—always at a child’s own pace, and with plenty of space for autonomy, creativity, and curiosity.
In addition to academic learning, the co-op offers enrichment opportunities like field trips, nature exploration, hands-on projects, and community-based experiences—creating a dynamic and supportive space for children to grow socially, emotionally, and intellectually.
At the Knowledge Seed, children are met with understanding, encouraged through connection, and free to flourish as their full selves.
The Wonder Seed
Inclusive Monthly Art Classes — Donation-Based
Let your child’s creativity unfold in The Wonder Seed, our monthly art class designed to spark imagination, connection, and joyful exploration. These one-hour sessions are donation-based (starting at just $5) and include all materials for painting, sculpting, mixed media, and other seasonal crafts.
Rooted in PDA-friendly practices, The Wonder Seed offers a gentle, low-pressure environment where children can engage at their own pace. Parents and caregivers remain with their child during class, creating a shared experience that nurtures both creativity and connection.
Whether your child is joyfully creating or simply observing from a cozy corner, they are welcome just as they are.
The Illumination Seed
The Illumination Seed
Workshops, Talks, and Shared Learning for the Adults Who Support Neurodivergent Kids
The Illumination Seed is our space for growth and reflection—for caregivers, educators, therapists, and anyone seeking to better understand autism, PDA, and the rich world of neurodiversity.
Through thoughtfully designed classes, workshops, open discussions, featured films, and occasional guest speakers, we offer insight, clarity, and compassionate tools that help light the way. Whether you're just beginning your journey or deepening your awareness, you'll find a welcoming space to ask questions, share experiences, and grow in community.
We believe understanding brings light. And when we see more clearly, we support more fully—together, creating a world where every child is truly seen.
