Sow A Seed
& Watch What Grows!

Every great harvest begins with someone willing to sow a seed.  That's what our Schoolhouse Sowing Circle is all about.

They're a circle of individuals and businesses who believe in paying it forward – investing in something today so it can grow into something bigger tomorrow.

Some sow through financial support, in any amount, quietly fueling our programming, subsidizing playgroups and teacher trainings, and maintaining access for every child, family, and educator.  Others sow through in-kind support – offering space, materials, or products that become part of the experience.  Either way, it's the same seed: a belief in the highest quality of learning, music, and literacy – and in nurturing a healthy body and mind.

To honor that trust, members of our Sowing Circle are recognized on our website – by name or company logo – and receive invitations to special events and updates made just for this group, so they can stay close to the growth they're helping create.  We will also be asking everyone in the Sowing Circle to be a part of our premier, annual journal project by sharing a "Seed of Wisdom" for families and educators.  These words of advice will be helpful to so many.  Stay tuned for more on that project! 

We're grateful for everyone in the Sowing Circle.  If you've been thinking about becoming one, we'd love to talk. 

As the song goes:  “Everything you need is there inside a seed!"

Parents Challenge and Simple Gift Schoolhouse share a deep commitment to ensuring every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and reach their full potential. We believe parents are a child’s first and most important teacher, and when families are equipped with the knowledge, resources, and support they need, children thrive. Simple Gift Schoolhouse’s creative use of music, movement, and storytelling makes early learning engaging and meaningful for both children and their caregivers. We are proud to partner with an organization that shares our belief that access to quality educational opportunities should never be limited by a family’s circumstances.
