Bottom Lines

Starting early to form inward attitudes is the goal of the Seedling's bottom lines. We align with our K-5 CORE and After School program value words but recognize that young minds can't always comprehend one word. That's why we have bottom lines. Bottom lines are simple sentences that the preschool age child can hold onto and live out! 

Below are the monthly bottom lines with their corresponding value word for the 2012-2013 school year:
