Sprout House has been providing a setting for young learners that offers warmth and spirit. With small classes and hands-on experiences, the integrity of Kindergarten is fully realized.

By using a project approach and a genuine attempt to love and take care of their fragile blue world, Sprout House children can begin to formulate a holistic rather than reductionist attitude about learning.

Broad Goals

• Help the child enjoy school for the pleasure of learning and to enjoy working and playing with other children and adults.
• Create a positive climate for creative exploration.
• Stimulate the curiosity that grows into thoughtful investigation.
• Develop motivational systems that will engage the child in learning and problem-solving of his or her own volition.
• Develop skills and proficiencies for locating, using, and extending information.
• Use procedures and routines that will develop attention spans.
• Meet each child at his or her own point in development.
• Provide extensive experience with objects in the environment so that the child can deal with objects when they are not physically present.
• Foster good health, physical growth, and motor development.
• Integrate subject matters as much as possible.
• Help children feel close connections with nature.
