Phil Green

Get back to your roots! Every semester all the Phil Kids classes have the opportunity to plant and harvest vegetables in our gardens along with their teachers. After harvesting, the children participate in our Great Salad Party where they have the chance to taste the fruit of their labor! In addition to encouraging our little ones to have a healthy diet, we promote their contact with nature.
