What people are saying

“We are so grateful for Happy Seeds and Ms. Jacqueline. She creates such a safe, positive, and nurturing space where our daughter Violet is thriving. She is a kind and supportive teacher, and clearly tailors her approach to each child in her program. Violet loves going to school everyday, and it’s awesome that Ms. Jacqueline plans fun outings (e.g. aquarium) and also weaves in school readiness activities, like learning letters. We wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Jacqueline and Happy Seeds to any family looking for an outdoor school in San Diego!”

“We absolutely love Happy Seeds Nature School. We have been with Jacqueline over a year now and from day one she has gone above and beyond. She’s incredible organized, creative, and always full of thoughtful ideas to support our daughter, especially as she works through a speech delay. Enrolling our daughter here has truly been one of the best decisions we’ve made. She’s not only learning and growing but also connecting with other children and thriving in an outdoor, nature-based environment. We are so grateful for this special place!
