Carlin Springs is excited to partner with the Master Gardeners of Northern Virginia (MGNV) to bring engaging monthly gardening clubs to four preschool classrooms.
Each month, MGNV volunteers will guide young learners through hands-on gardening activities, fostering an appreciation for nature and environmental sustainability. Students will develop essential motor skills, expand their science vocabulary and experience the joys of growing plants firsthand.
These interactive sessions encourage curiosity and a lifelong connection to the natural world through playful, hands-on learning.
The partnership provides an opportunity for students to engage in sensory-rich experiences while exploring the wonders of gardening. We look forward to watching this collaboration flourish and inspire a new generation of environmentally conscious learners.
