CHILDREN MAKE THEIR OWN GREENHOUSES — Children at the Toombs County Head Start Center enjoyed making their own “greenhouse” by using beans and damp cotton balls. They can’t wait to see their seeds sprout. Many of the children discussed how high their bean stalks would grow and how they wanted to climb them. They learned how their hothouse would create moisture for water and the sun in the windows would feed their beans. The center has been involved in the farm to early childhood initiative during the past few years and this is just one of the many activities the center uses to teach children how food is grown. The center is proudly administered by action pact, your local community action agency. For information on enrollment opportunities, please contact the family advocate office at (912) 526-9229.
