Hi and welcome to our site!
Our Mission:
Super Sprowtz is an exciting multi-media program focused on wellness and nutrition education for children and parents. Our mission is to engage and connect children around the subject of food and nutrition through story, adventure, lovable characters, music and play.
What We Do:
Our program is inspired by storytellers, nutritionists, educators, curriculum developers, musicians, chefs, filmmakers and of course parents and children themselves.
Our focus is to be the premiere nutrition education destination for children and families worldwide offering exciting television and online video content, games, apps, educational books, toys and DVDs and live performances to engage children (and parents!) to eat more vegetables and lead healthier lives.
We connect with our community directly through our multi-media puppet show and classroom programs featuring our Super Sprowtz characters and perform in school assemblies, large indoor and outdoor venues such as Lincoln Center and Bronx Zoo in New York City, in classrooms, and our Super Sprowtz heroes are even asked to do speaking engagements! (You can book a show by clicking here!)
We have also developed a comprehensive 150-page curriculum that is part of our “Super-Powered Nutrition Education School Kit” that provides important tools for educators and parents trying to engage their students in a meaningful way around nutrition and healthy living.
Our Inspiration:
We firmly believe that if children are entertained and engaged through characters and story that they will see vegetables and nutrition differently. It’s an age-old battle and one that is never won with “Eat your broccoli!” Children want to make decisions for themselves and parents want their kids to make the right decisions too and we provide a vehicle and a fun tool for parents and kids to be on the same page. Super Sprowtz solves a wide range of communication challenges for parents, educators, and organizations trying to reach children around the subject of nutrition and wellness.
Our Back-Story:
Super Sprowtz was born out of a menu that Founder Radha Agrawal designed for her and her twin sister’s organic pizza restaurant, Slice (sliceperfect.com) in 2005 as a way to teach children why each pizza ingredient was so important. A film and television producer by trade, Radha was intrigued by the positive reaction to her characters she received from kids (and their parents) and realized after doing some research that there was a lack of effective nutrition education solutions that focused on kids and provided an exciting and visual format appealing to them. With so many platforms from tablets to television to the Internet, there were also no comprehensive programs available to teach children about nutrition and wellness. As a result, Super Sprowtz launched in 2011 with the goal to be the premiere nutrition education destination for children, families and educators.
