Planting Spartan Sprouts

It’s Spring! Time to think about planting.

I’m looking for some babies - preferably brand new to 1 year old. I’m planting seeds for Spartan Sprouts.

Spartan Sprouts is our early contact program where we sign new parents up to work with one of our home visitors as the baby develops. We all have questions about how our children grow and what we can do to help them grow in healthy ways and our Gardeners are ready to bring the tools and the fertilizer.

This program is only for residents of the Lake Forest Community. It’s one of a kind.

A family who signs up will have a trained home visitor come to your home 4 times a year to work with your little sprout. They will help parents discover their child’s unique interests and explore learning opportunities together until the child is three years old.

This gives us the opportunity to introduce the family to the caring services of the Lake Forest School district and helps ensure that the child will be ready for success when they start school.

Here at Lake Forest, we think it is important for your child to get off to a good start and we are interested in them as soon as they arrive. Why wait for kindergarten? We are “Your best choice” school district and we think making the best choice begins at birth. We care about your family and want to see your child’s success begin early.

If you or someone you know is a resident of the Lake Forest attendance area, have a child under 12 months or are expecting and would like to consider signing up for Spartan Sprouts please let us know. Contact our Spartan Sprout coordinator, Monica Sipes at 398-8945 extension 41 or email her at mlsipes@lf.k12.de.us .
