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 child is 8 months old and has been enrolled at Little Sprouts in the infant room since age 4 months. I found the facility to be updated and clean in terms of supplies and equipment. Administration and teachers/ care takers provide great communication with parents. I love our infant teachers Jenna and Brooke.

I am so impressed with the quality of care and education my child receives at this preschool. The teachers are so loving and nurturing, and I can see how much my child has grown and learned since starting here. The facilities are clean and welcoming, and I feel confident leaving my child in their care every day. I highly recommend to any parents looking for a safe and enriching environment for their little ones.

My wife and I can't say enough positive things about Little Sprouts Watertown. Our 3 year old has been there for just over 6 months and absolutely loves the center. The ability to get outside and be active on their playgrounds is fantastic. The teachers have been so supportive and nurturing as our daughter develops. Just an amazing place!

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.

I typically don’t write reviews but I felt the need to leave one for Little Sprouts. This is my son’s second school and I have to say the decision to transfer him into Little Sprouts was THE BEST decision I have made by far. He has had such a wonderful experience here in the Pre-K classroom thanks to the efforts of Ms. Maria & her staff. I cannot express enough how happy I am with his transition and experience so far at Little Sprouts in Concord!
