What our families are saying

Our 2 year old has been going to Little Spouts since he was 5 months old and we couldn't be happier! His teachers Ms. Nicole, Ms. Donna, and Ms. Jess are amazing! We feel so grateful to have teachers who are so kind and engaging. I'm so impressed by the range of activity they plan - everything from art, to music, science projects, and dramatic play. Our son has learned so much from school and we have been so happy with the Little Sprouts team!

Our daughter has been going to Little Sprouts for almost 2 years and we’ve had a great experience. Miss Irina, Miss Sonia, Miss Becca, Miss Hannah, and many other teachers have had a big impact on her development. She’s excited to go to school everyday and we feel very comfortable dropping her off. Little Sprouts is a great program.
Stephanie Jackman
We absolutely love Little Sprouts Melrose! Sam and Rena do a great job here. The communication is always detailed and consistent, the daily activities are so much fun and engaging. Sydney and Isabella from Toddler 3 classroom are really nice teachers. They take such good care of our daughter and our daughter loves both of them. She has adapted so well and loves to go to school everyday. We couldn't be happier with our decision to send our little one to this wonderful school.

Our family has been a part of little sprouts for the last 7 years. Both my daughter and son have attended and have highly excelled over the years. The teachers have been so very loving, caring, supportive, and friendly over the years. We drive about 20 min here everyday because of it. Id rather know my babies are well taken care of than not and they have been wonderful ! We have 1 year left and it will be sad to see our second child leave for sure.
