Today Sprouts partnered with .community.church to host a breakfast to ‘take a moment’ and be available to love and care for one another. It was such a special time together and we are so grateful to .market for the donations of fruit, granola, flowers and coffee beans. A huge shout out to for the yummy baked goods and for making the beverages. We are so blessed to be a part of our beautiful community.

It was our Sweet Peas (0-2 years) turn to head out in our community today! After a year of planting and caring for a variety of flowers, herbs and veggies, the Sweet Peas walked down to the Shell Cove Community Gardens! It was beautiful to see the care and love that people in our community put into this space! Shellharbour City Council

THANK YOU for the incredible learning opportunity that you provided for our children! You truely went above and beyond and we appreciate you all very much!

In preparation for our emergency response drills, Sprouts held an emergency preparation week! Educators were intentional with their teaching, supporting children to develop the skills they need if an emergency did occur. We also were very grateful to and for coming to visit and share with the children!
