Program accomplishments
- Sprouts School is a neighborhood, nature based school that learns through play. We served 78 children ages 8 weeks to 6 years old in 2025. We provided care on 227 days for 8 hours a day. While in our care, children are learning self help skills, gross and fine motor skills, math and literacy skills, and emotional literacy skills. Children engage in learning about their neighborhood by identifying the plants and animals in their neighborhood, walking through the neighborhood and playing in the child friendly parks and gardens in the neighborhood, and meeting the neighbors.Expenses $370,251 · revenue $341,342
