Meeting the diverse needs of each student through creative exploration of the natural world. Mountain Sprouts Children's Community (MSCC) supports families by using our natural world and community to cultivate learning. At MSCC, children learn outdoors most of the day, where we explore and build community. Our programs encourage discovery and collaboration via nature-based, emergent (child-led) curriculum, and all programs accommodate students with diverse needs. Outdoor experiential learning supports the development of curious minds, strong spirits, growing bodies, and caring hearts. In short, we use the natural world as a teacher to help foster attributes we want to see in our community at large. We accomplish our mission through our three programs: Evergreen (a licensed child-care and preschool), Willow (a part-time preschool and transitional Kindergarten) and Summer Camps.
