ABOUT US
Founded by a former teacher, Sprout Classrooms gives educators a central location to buy and sell used classroom resources, protecting both their wallets and the environment.
Our mission at Sprout Classrooms is to help teachers recycle and reuse classroom resources. We purchase items from educators who are retiring, changing grades or downsizing their classroom. We then offer these items to other teachers, allowing them to reuse existing resources instead of buying new. Teachers can purchase recycled products through our website, www.sproutclassrooms.com. Item prices are kept as low as possible, allowing teachers to outfit their classrooms at extremely affordable rates. Education budgets are being slashed, and we're here to help.
Sprout Classrooms is committed to being environmentally friendly on all fronts. All resources needed to run the company are purchased locally, are used and are eco-friendly.

After teaching for five years, I realized the need for a central place to buy and sell used classroom materials and receive creative teaching support. I took the leap into entrepreneurship and created Sprout Classrooms!
