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.

Wildlife sighting: Daddy-long legs, or Harvestmen....in the Order Opiliones....good little scavengers and lots of knees ! Not a spider because it only has one main body part.
On the way outside to look for Jupiter, Saturn and the Perseid meteor shower, Garden spider (Araneus) was very busy. It was big (2-3 inches across)
Fungi of the day: After a storm, look for fungi to pop. Two-colored bolete (Boletus bicolor) Squirrels have been nibbling. Whenever there's a clump or "fairly ring" of mushrooms, its evidence that a host plant (usually a tree) existed in that spot in the past
