Urban Sprouts

Our Garden to Table program is part of our holistic approach to build up each child’s health. It makes certain every Urban Sprouts student is well-fed with nutritious meals with as many ingredients as possible sourced directly from our community garden and onsite greenhouse. Through Reggio-inspired education, we cultivate a lifelong love of learning and a confident, compassionate, and curious spirit in every child we serve. This seed, this investment of love and learning, is what we believe will help each child, regardless of their identities or backgrounds, shape our collective future into something hopeful and bright as they grow into engaged citizens.

We’re proud of our thriving garden which provides joyful activities as well as nourishing fresh foods to our 0-5 year old students. Food from the garden is incorporated into both cooking lessons, in the culinary classroom, and daily meals which are eaten family-style in the learning piazza. Kids don’t just devour these delectable delights, they learn to cook and their families are invited to partake in these unique culinary learning experiences as well.

Just like the gorgeous garden in our outdoor classroom needs love, water, and sunshine to stay healthy and keep growing, Urban Sprouts needs champions like you. Thank you for your consideration in supporting our mission to support children and families across St. Louis.
