Our philosophy
Our owners, Conny Reardon-Tustin and Marc Tustin, created the Seeds brand in 2009.
The inspiration for the brand name ”Seeds” was created from their belief that their centres will be a place where children will flourish. Like a tiny seed, a child that is well nurtured will grow healthy and thrive.
Key to our approach is fostering a strong sense of social and emotional intelligence to develop a life long hunger for learning at our child care centres.
