Growing our Dream from Seed to Sprout
We believe fun, learning, and community building can happen organically when families are given the space to explore and grow.
Our Story
As a mom of 3 toddlers, owner Emily Higgins knows a thing or two about the importance of play. As a working parent, she also understands the struggle of balancing career and family. Her dream of creating a clean, comfortable, and exciting imaginative and educational space that served both children and their grownups was the seed from which Sprout City grew. Emily and her husband Rob, both Media natives with deep roots in the community, welcome families to Sprout City – a nurturing community where children’s imaginations bloom by creating an imaginative world for kids and an enjoyable environment for their grownups with space to recharge and connect. Welcome to the City!
