General information about the Seedlings Program
Seedlings is a summer preschool program at the Hampshire College Farm Center. A small group of children and an experienced teacher will gather each weekday for a hands-on exploration of farm and garden life. With the cozy farmhouse “sun room” as home base, the Seedlings will venture out to the barnyard, the children’s garden, and the larger farm fields and woods for a balance of work and play that meets individual needs. Animal chores, cooking experiments, outdoor games, quiet time, water play, and musical movement will fill our days, allowing the Seedlings to learn and grow together. For more information, please call 413-695-4645.
