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.
