Hi! I am Shannon Agee, "Ringleader of Creative Operations" here at Sprout.
In 2017, I took a leap of faith and opened my dream studio, leaving behind my career as a teacher in the NC public school system. My vision for Sprout was and still is based on Process Art for children, often incorporating the Reggio Emilia Approach of ART education, which is based on the image of the child.
This philosophy, combined with my desire to share the practice of yoga in a fun, nonjudgemental atmosphere, led to the idea of creating Sprout Yoga & Art for Kids. I have dreamt of owning my own studio for as long as I can remember. I wanted to create a special space where the students feel comfortable, happy and inspired to be themselves.
For those interested in my qualifications and licensure...
~State of North Carolina License in Elementary Education K-6 and Art K-12
~Bachelor of Science, Elementary Education ~ Appalachian State University
~Bachelor of Arts, Studio Art ~ University of North Carolina at Wilmington
~miniyogis® Childrens Yoga Teacher Training
~Summer Educator Institute- North Carolina Museum of Art
My husband Brian and I live in Wrightsville Beach and have two amazing sons, Sam and Max. All three of my guys have supported me from the beginning of this fantastic journey, and continue to be my favorite people! We also have two girls in the family. Beanie and Masey, our rescue dogs....the coolest dogs on the planet!
Megan Calabria is a major part of what makes our Sprout world go around. After teaching preschool for over 13 years, she began playing in the studio during the summer of 2018. Her love of nature,
art, meditating, and especially working with children make our days insightful and fun.
She brings enthusiasm, experience, and joy to everyone around her!
Megan and her husband Dante have two fabulous daughters,
Francesca and Giovanna.
