The Little Sprouts Early Learning Center is operated by Project Self-Sufficiency, a local non-profit agency which offers a wide variety of services to families in northwestern New Jersey. “Reading to these adorable children at PSS was a wonderful way to start a Monday morning,” noted Kut. “Their excitement and smiles from a storybook is contagious and made the start of my work week a joy.”
