Dream of Spring, Dream of Gardening

The pumpkins may still be in the field, but now is the perfect time to dream about spring! Have you thought about starting a garden at your child care program? 

When children plant seeds, they learn patience and responsibility as they nurture something living. They get hands-on science experience—discovering how sunlight, water, and soil work together to help plants grow. And when they harvest their first tomato or see a sunflower stretch taller than themselves, the pride on their faces is pure magic.
