Little Sprouts
Little Sprouts is a hands-on, early education program for children ages 2-5. When attending Little Sprouts sessions children and their accompanying grown-ups have the opportunity to spend time in the garden, try new foods, and learn about the 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.
The cost is $45/session (3 classes)
