My children have so much fun with their teachers and all of their new friends. All of the teachers are so loving and truly care about all of the children. The classrooms are clean and they have a big property for the kids to play outside. They have such a good routine set for the kids and also fun activities for them. My son and daughter have learned so many different things from songs, prayers, and even their behavior has been impacted in a great way. Thank you hearts and hands for giving my children a safe and enjoyable environment to play and learn!

Putting my son in child care for the first time was a decision that I weighed heavily. Trusting him…read moreto Seeds is one of the best decisions I've made. Ciara and her staff are kind, communicative and a delight to interact with. I watched my son flourish during his time there and his social, communication and motor skills increase. He was so happy there that when I came to pick him up he would just look at me and go back to what he was previously doing. I strongly recommend Seeds. Thank you, Ciara!

From the owner: We are not your average daycare. Our goal is to take little seeds and turn them into mighty trees…read more We want to help children develop their thinking minds so they can solve problems and make responsible decisions. We want our children to learn what it means to be respectful and we want them to learn skills that they can bring home with them. We strive to teach children how to treat their parents and other adults, their peer, and more importantly how they should treat themselves. We live in a day where technology is booming and children are exposed to so much in such in so little time. At Seeds we want to cultivate their innate child behavior and reinforce it with encouraging stimuli that will enhance their abilities rather then diminish them. Because when we learn, we grow and we are going to have a blast doing it.

My baby had Annie as his first teacher. He started with her at the tender age of just 7 months. As…read morea first time mom, I was nervous to hand off my child while I returned to work. Annie was amazing with my child from day one. She exudes kindness and clearly loves the little ones. She was our "childcare fairy." She has sold Elec and will no longer run that program & we miss her dearly. I have nothing but positive things to say about Annie. She's not only great with the babies; she is also professional, organized, and communicative. I highly recommend her.

Well I hope this replaces my old review which was during the time when they had no hot water in the…read moreshowers. So this is a very nice place and considering how upscale it is surrounded by parks and very nice views right across from the airport in Santa Maria or orcutt, It's a bargain and a half. January gets half price membership fee, In the monthly fees are well worth it and adjusted for families and if you're over an age I don't know. And now the Hot water is back on. Staff is very friendly they have every feature for families that you would ever want. They have all the classes you would ever want. They have tiny dry and wet saunas. I have some great outdoor areas fantastic views I think I mentioned that, but I didn't mention the soccer field which can be rented but it's basically for kids leagues three to 12. And it's particularly nice it's completely enclosed and has artificial turf. They have a lap pool and a jacuzzi off to the side and four weight areas and two gyms with half court, a couple of fully enclosed handball courts which I love. One and a half pickleball courts I'm dying to try that once I get back into reasonable balance. It may be my good looks and personality but people are very friendly. And it's a great place if you got anything going for you to meet someone. So after one tour and 8 days later one try out which isn't much I'm giving it five stars. And it's my favoritest gym I think that I've ever joined maybe the Santa Barbara Y was close.
