Day Programs
Grade 3 Program
The Grade 3 program day at The Stop’s Green Barn offers kids a chance to experience the barns while they learn concepts connected to the science curriculum. This visit runs in the mornings from April to June. Activities include:
• Tour of the barn
• Making a vermicompost bin
• Compost and worm biology games
• Planting and harvesting food crops
Elementary Student Visit
For all classes in elementary schools, we offer a one-hour educational visit to our community garden at Earlscourt Park from May to June. Children and teens get a chance to play and learn outside while digging, planting seeds and doing activities that reinforce school curriculum.
Teacher Training
For teachers in junior kindergarden to grade 3, we offer a ‘Lunch and Learn Teacher Training Workshop’ on vermicomposting. Teachers receive hands on instruction on how to create a care for a worm bin with their students and receive a free worm kit with materials.
