Who We Are
Settled Seeds is an Early Childhood Academic Planning Consulting Company for families who need assistance with finding an early childhood program that is the best fit for both their child and the family.
Our Mission
Our mission is to counsel and educate families on their options to maximize both the academic and extra-curricular opportunities for their child's individual needs and learning style. Settled Seeds helps families to discover the best-fit early childhood program where their child will advance in all areas of development.
Are you settling…
on an early childhood program based on tuition costs, lack of financial aid options, location, family legacy, demographics, or recommendations of a friend or family? As you know, your child is an individual with his or her own thoughts, personality, and learning style.
Settled Seeds encourages families to deeply reflect and answer two essential questions:
Who do I want my child to be holistically?
Is the early childhood program I have chosen for my child supporting who I want my child to be holistically, and helping them to fully develop who they are as a person right now?
Settled Seeds is a small yet powerful investment into discovering and knowing your options that both help your young scholar to thrive, and allow you to be at ease knowing that you gave the very best start to developing who your child is holistically.
Meet Whitney
Whitney A. Peterson is a native of the Philadelphia area, and attended both private and parochial schools in the city of Philadelphia, as well as the surrounding suburbs. Whitney obtained her Bachelor's of Science from Chestnut Hill College in Early Childhood/ Elementary Education, and a Master's of Science in Reading (Pre-K-12) with an English as a Second Language certificate from Saint Joseph’s University. In addition, she has been an early childhood teacher in the city of Philadelphia for over a decade, teaching Pre-Kindergarten through 3rd grades in both the Philadelphia charter and public school systems.
Whitney’s expertise is in knowing the areas of early childhood development, the ways in which young children learn, acquire, and process information, as well as studying and implementing multiple educational philosophies and approaches have given her such a rich experience that has led her to the path of early childhood consulting.
“Most consultants gear toward a clientele of families who need assistance with high school or college. I whole-heartedly believe in the importance of investing in the beginning stages of a child's academic career because I know the possibilities are endless.”
Explaining Our Graphic
The title "Settled Seeds" was founded on the idea that while all seeds need nurturing, various types of seeds require different amounts of water, sunlight, and soil in order to thrive and grow.
Young children are no different in regards to their education. 21st century education is often presented as a one-size-fits all package, implying that all children learn the same, which is simply not true. Children hit developmental milestones, learn, grow, process information, and develop in a multitude of ways.
“Education does not begin or end in the classroom. It only gives us certain tools we need to thrive in the world.”
