City Sprouts Preschool is an early childhood program located in the Outer Sunset neighborhood of San Francisco. The center uses intentionally arranged indoor and outdoor spaces to support exploration, open-ended play, and social development.

Meals and snacks are prepared on site using organic ingredients. The program uses natural materials indoors and outdoors, maintains a garden for hands-on food experiences, and includes regular neighborhood outings and field trips as part of the routine.
