Crown Hill Explorers Cooperative Preschool

Each year the children plant seeds for their home gardens and the one at preschool. Last fall a grandparent brought in a huge sunflower that he had grown in his garden. FarFar let the children touch the sunflower and look at the seeds in the flower. We dried the seeds and this spring the children planted seeds from his sunflower. Now we have FarFar’s sunflowers growing in our garden and in the children’s home gardens. It is wonderful see the love of gardening being passed from one generation to a new generation.

Being in our outside classroom is a wonderful way to learn from nature while playing and having time to connect with each other.
