Little Sprouts - Spring 2025

Lil’ Sprouts is a hands-on, early childhood education program for pre-school aged children. During the Lil’ Sprouts sessions, children and their accompanying grown-ups have the opportunity to spend time in the garden, try new foods, and learn about the natural world around them. The program is filled with investigation, discovery, exploration, and most importantly fun! Each activity is thoughtfully chosen and facilitated to guide and encourage the cognitive and emotional development that young children are continuously experiencing.
