Building a community that supports children and their caregivers
Pros
As it says in their mission statement, Urban Sprouts is a joyful, diverse, learning community where the rights of children take precedence, their ideas have voice, and each child and family is valued. Every member of the team is called to truly care for the children and each other. They esteem people over programs and I love being a part of work that impacts my community in a meaningful way. While providing high quality early care and education has remained at the core, the mission extends beyond the boundaries of their University City location. Urban Sprouts is an advocate for young children and a partner with others seeking to elevate the needs of our community throughout St. Louis, nationally, and throughout the world. This commitment, passion, and dedication to make and sustain positive change is what brought me to Urban Sprouts and empowers me to serve.
Cons
As with any growing organization, we are constantly looking for like-minded people to partner with us in this work. Finding qualified individuals who understand our mission and are excited to devote themselves to learning, growing and serving our community remains a challenge. We expect everyone in our program, regardless of position, to uphold one another and work together to make the vision a reality. We believe in creating joyful spaces and are committed to finding, developing and retaining the best people to do join us in this endeavor.
