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

We absolutely love Little Sprouts. My son is in the preschool room and loves all the teachers and kids. He has been there since he was 6 months old. My daughter has graduated from Little Sprouts and is currently in kindergarten, but she started in the infant room. She was so well prepared for the transition and we are so grateful for the staff at Little Sprouts.

I have worked with Little sprouts for 13 years and counting- and now I have my infant enrolled at the center. I love my years of teaching, and I’m so thankful for an amazing environment for my son to learn and grow. Walking into the school there is so much evidence of learning, and we are filled with an amazing group of staff that has much experience with children. I’m happy to work here with people who share a love for kids just like I do!

Little Sprouts Melrose is a truly positive and welcoming environment for both children and staff. The school provides exceptional care and education for infants through preschool, and it’s inspiring to work alongside such educated and
dedicated teachers. What stands out most is the strong partnership between families and staff—parents are deeply involved and form a supportive, connected community that makes this school feel like a second home.

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.
