A piece from VolumeOne magazine about Little Sprouts:
'A new child care center has "sprouted " up in Menomonie, with the goal of providing not just quality child care but an awareness of the environment and how our health relates.
"One of the things we feel is important is giving children choices so they have a say in decisions being made about them. " - Joe Lawrence
"We 're not 'tree-huggers, ' per se; we 're simply 'aware ' of our environment, " explained Joe, who is in charge of the academy 's curriculum and programs... "We 're always going to be learning about things that are good and not so good for us, and trying to move towards more of the good. "
It was their desire to move toward that "good " that motivated the pair to begin an "eco-friendly/eco-healthy " childcare center that boasts low-VOC paint, floors made of marmoleum (a floor covering made from renewable materials), and a refrigerator filled with organic food. It also meant providing traditional toys like wood blocks and puzzles to better stimulate children 's imagination and creativity during play rather than electronic, one-dimensional toys.
"Having children be able to function and thrive in their environment is important, " explains Joe. "A lot of toys are made for just one thing and don 't necessarily spark a lot of creativity. We have some that are simple, but allow the child to think a little bit more about what they can do with it. "'
