Sprouts Art & Nature School

At Sprouts Art & Nature School our mission is to provide the time, space, and community
for children to play, explore nature, and create art.
Our hope is that children leave Sprouts with:
an enduring connection with nature,
a meaningful understanding of art,
a tight-knit supportive community,
a highly developed imagination,
a strong sense of empathy,
limitless self-confidence,
and genuine grit.
