Sprout House is a private, nonprofit child care center, nursery school, rising five, and kindergarten serving children from age 2 1/2 through 6 years.
The mission of Sprout House is to provide a home-like setting in which happy and inquisitive children develop positive and eager attitudes toward school. We foster a global consciousness that embraces environmental beauty and sustainability.
At the same time, we cultivate an awareness that all children deserve participation in societies where people can sustain themselves and live healthful, stimulating and fulfilling lives.

Another grown up Sprout, now an artist, (Taylor Johnson, 90's) is having one of his most delicious pieces installed at Sprout House by founder, Joanne Lockwood White, longtime teacher, Caroline SanFilippo and a younger sprout. Eat your artichokes...
Out watching whales yesterday about a mile straight out from the Verrazano bridge and also near Rockaway, NY. One healthy Humpback previously catalogued (according to the scientist), 300+ dolphins and one miracle Humpback never seen before with terrible ship scars which happened when it was younger, because the injuries are all healed. Something of a miracle with scars so deep. The menhaden are plentiful again after the bacterial problem 2 months ago, and we were treated to a bm blast to prove it. (no pic though) Science of the day.
Who knows where the road will lead us ……GIANT Thank you to all the Sprout House Staff for selfless service in a challenging year….and that goes to all childcare professionals everywhere too. You produced nothing less than a true sanctuary. Sendin the love. Science of the day
