What learning looks like at Little Sprouts

Our LEARN philosophy reflects our belief that a love of learning begins in childhood and lasts a lifetime. When your child is in our care, their safety, health, and well‑being come first—every day. We’re committed to nurturing and supporting your child, and earning your trust as a family.

Luminate

We create wonder by encouraging curiosity. We let questions lead learning and prioritize sensory play, process art, outdoor learning, and open-ended discovery.

Environment

Above all, we create environments that are safe and secure. From enforcing building security, to hiring trustworthy teachers, to prioritizing wellness, our number one priority is the health and safety of each and every little one in our care. Our environments are not only safe, but carefully set up with the intention of fostering exploration, curiosity, and learning.

Advocate

We build strong relationships and advocate for every child's needs. We honor each child's individuality, developmental journey, and natural pace for learning.

Respect

Our inclusive and diverse curriculum promotes equity by recognizing and valuing the unique backgrounds, cultures, abilities, and experiences of all children. We practice Anti-Bias Early Education, which means little ones are introduced to a wide range of cultural perspectives, fostering respect, empathy, and a sense of belonging.

Nurture

Through play, we help children develop critical cognitive, social and emotional skills, such as problem-solving, self-regulation, and communication. Our teachers nurture both emotional and physical safety, empowering children to explore and grow, while fostering their social and emotional intelligence and resilience.

How we keep your little ones safe

Clear communication is at the heart of our health and safety commitment. From daily updates to rigorous protocols, we take every precaution to keep children safe, supported, and families informed.

What our families are saying

My daughter has attended Little Sprouts from infancy up to her current preschool classroom. We have been so impressed and happy with the quality of care and with her learning ! Our kiddo loves school, and I am so grateful to Ms. Bre and her staff for all the wonderful experiences our family has had. I’ve never had to worry about whether my child is safe, cared for, and loved in my absence, which is so important to me as a mom. Thank you for all you do!

We have been attending Little Sprouts since our daughter was 5 months old (currently 2!) and have loved all of our teachers Miss Donna, Miss Nicole and Miss Talisha (plus the other helpers!). Our daughter thrives in school and looks forward to going. These teachers have been a huge part of our daughters development since the start. We feel confident and comfortable with our daughter at LS. The weekly Miss Robin is a great director and we appreciate her support and accommodations when needed!

Little Sprouts is a wonderful childcare center! The staff is fantastic, and they are always prepared each day with engaging activities for my daughter. The center is clean and safe, and I can tell how devoted the team is to delivering quality education and care for all of the kids. I have zero concerns about leaving my daughter in their care. Thank you Little Sprouts Merrimack!

We love Little Sprouts Stratham! Returning to work from maternity leave was tough, once I met all of the teacher and saw the classrooms it made me so much more comfortable. I can see the genuine care each teacher has for their students. The school has great communication and incredible staff. Ms. Taryn, Ms. Ksenia, Ms. Hilary and Ms. Leda have been amazing, we love them! I highly recommend this school!
