Just a reminder: ask your baby questions! Does that sound strange to you? Questions are just another way for you to introduce your baby to new words and phrases. The more you talk, the more your child will know.

How is it "growing?"



Our Garden Sprouts program has been meeting every Tuesday to plant seeds. So how is it “growing?” Great! We have lettuce, tomatoes, and corn sprouting as wells flowers like zinnias and morning glories. Kid also planted sunflowers and tomatoes to take home. Think you have what it takes to Garden Sprout? Join us every Tuesday at 4 pm to monitor the plants’ progress, help us weed the garden, and learn about growing a healthier you!
