“We are grateful for the time our daughter spent at Sprouts Garden Preschool for 4K. The 4K curriculum, staff, and environment embraced her qualities and characteristics enabling her confidence, curiosity, and problem solving strategies to flourish. We were sad when her 4K year came to an end, but we were 100% confident that her time at Sprouts had taught her how to approach any challenge or new situation that came in her way, including Kindergarten. Thank you, Monk Botanical Gardens, for setting our daughter up for success.”
