Early Sprouts

The Early Sprouts program, a 24-week nutrition and gardening curriculum for preschoolers, originated at Keene State in 2006 to address the significant community health problem of childhood obesity. Early Sprouts engages preschool children and their families in a unique, healthy lifestyle-learning program centered on a working vegetable garden.
