Every teacher my daughter has had so far has been absolutely amazing. My daughter can be a handful but they still show nothing but love for her. And even though she's a meanie, she loves her teachers so much! Miss Kim is her favorite this year. Recently cried just because she wanted to help her decorate the classroom door.

Our child has been enrolled at Little Sprouts Watertown for almost three years. Since our first day, the Management team and all of the Teachers have been excellent. Anytime there has been an issue, a question, or a need, they have always taken the time to listen, understand, and demonstrate their commitment to our child's growth and success. A great facility with a truly wonderful team of professionals!
