About

Little Sprouts is a nature-based program designed specifically for children aged 3-5 that helps develop their appreciation and understanding of the natural world. Each session includes story time, songs, and fun nature-themed crafts and activities. From planting seeds to spotting bees, harvesting veggies, and exploring the Garden with handmade binoculars, every session sparks curiosity and a love for nature!
