As the children & grandchildren of some of our area's great environmentalists, we (Caity & Ellen) were taught early on that conservation, sustainable living, and environmental stewardship were essential components of a life well-lived. Our passion is passing these values on to future generations. 

At Sprouts, we strive to integrate accessible nature experiences into children's lives fostering a lifelong appreciation for and dedication to the natural world. 

We aim to provide a sustainable example for the children in our care - learning about and practicing composting, recycling, and re-using. We discuss our human impact on nature and living things. We minimize plastic, use found objects as toys, and love the addition of a great cardboard box to be re-purposed on the playground - before adding it too to the compost pile. 

We are fortunate to live in a community with similar values and commitment. Because we must work together as a community to ensure that upcoming generations inherit the resources, environment, and Earth they rightfully deserve, in addition to the knowledge of how to preserve it.
