Gardening
At Jennifer James Child care, pre-schoolers and school age kids have access to gardening. Gardens give children a chance to plant thier own fruits and vegetables, learn where food comes from and share their harvest with mom and dad at the dinner table.
Kids who learn to love gardening at an early age grow into adults with a passion for plants and respect for the environment. Gardens allow children:
- To be active and engaged in learning
- To build on prior learning and experiences with their environment
- To develop a relationship with nature
- To explore at their own pace
At Jennifer James garden, kids plant easy food such as:
- Lettuce
