We look forward to meeting you all this coming Thursday for a few bonus sessions before we close down for December.

- Drop-off is at 9:00am in the field over the musical bridge and pick-up is 12:00pm at the yellow gate.
- Your invoice is being sent by my accounting system, so please keep an eye out for it.
- Our session starts the week of January 10th and runs through to March 11th.
Here are a few helpful notes to get you started off on the right track 🙂
Gear
We take winter gear seriously and dressing your child appropriately is the #1 predictor of their success in our program.
Our winter gear list is here for your reference in case you haven’t already gone through our policies and found it. Please bear in mind that brand names and clothing are just suggestions. The most important factors are fabric and fit. Not brand name or expense.
You can read more about clothing here.
We have a Sprouting Knowledge Gear Swap – please feel free to add yourself to our Facebook Gear Swap page https://m.facebook.com/groups/595497937622249?view=info#!/groups/595497937622249?view=group
Weather
It’s cold out there so we encourage kids to stay active to stay warm. This means they need to be comfortable enough to move! Layers are crucial and poorly dressed kids do not enjoy themselves. Please ask questions about dressing for winter if need be.
It is SUPER helpful to get in the habit of checking the weather every morning before you arrive. The daytime high doesn’t usually occur until long after we have left the park. The daytime low is a more relevant temperature. It is also frequently cooler in the park than it is in the rest of downtown.
Parent Orientation
Parent orientation is coming soon and I am so excited to meet our new families.
We have two orientation sessions to try and accommodate people’s availability. This is an opportunity for you and your child to meet Michelle, Claudia and myself as well as ask any questions you may have. Please bring your child with you and any other family members who would like to attend. It runs about an hour. No dogs please.
If you’ve already attended our programs with another child you are welcome to skip it but we would love the opportunity to meet your child and begin our relationship together.
