Shoots and Sprouts: Is this a good preschool name?

[Zoeanne]

I am planning on starting a part-time preschool in my home, and had decided on the name Shoots and Sprouts. Dh is not so sure it's good because of the word "Shoots" and all the school violence that goes on these days. What do you think? Thanks!!!

Other ideas:

blossoms and buds
seeds and sprouts
The sprout patch

[Flor]

Honestly, I read both words as verbs the first time. Sprouts is cute, though. Maybe keep that part and find a different word for the beginning.

I can see where someone might do a double take with the word "Shoots." I agree with Flor - I like the Sprouts part. Blossoms and Buds makes me think of a florist, but I like this, too.

I know what you were going for with the word "shoots". Reminds me of Jane Goodall's nature program for youngsters called "Roots and Shoots". However, I think it might be best to leave out the "shoots".

I like the Sprout Patch a lot. It's cute. Blossoms and Buds is good too.

The Sprout Patch is FABULOUS!

Just "Sprouts" is cute IMO.

I like the Sprout Patch. I totally get where you were going with teh Shoots and Sprouts but overall the name just does not appeal to me.

thanks for the votes and input! Still thinking about it...but The Sprout Patch is what I'm leaning toward
