The Infant Classroom
Babies enrolled in our schools are off to a strong start! A day in our infant class is full of hugs, cuddles, giggles and discovery.
6 weeks to 15 months
Providing a safe, nurturing, engaging environment is crucial during a baby’s first year—a time in their development when the entire foundation for all future learning and behavior will be set. Our infant classrooms are safe, cozy, nurturing environments filled with developmentally appropriate toys and materials that babies can explore freely to stimulate their development and inspire growth. Working together with parents, we will establish a daily routine—one that closely aligns with your home routine—which supports a sense of security for children.
Growing minds & moving bodies
In our infant classrooms, development happens through connection, movement, and meaningful play. We create nurturing environments designed to spark curiosity and support your baby’s natural growth. Through exploration and interactive experiences, infants begin to build essential cognitive skills—like memory, recognition, early problem-solving, and understanding cause and effect.
At the same time, we focus on physical development by encouraging both fine and gross motor skills. With open, uncluttered spaces and no stationary devices, your child is free to roll, crawl, reach, grasp, and sit up—building the strength, coordination, and confidence they need to move through the world around them. Every interaction, toy, and routine is thoughtfully chosen to support whole-child development from the very beginning.
Connecting, communicating & exploring
Babies thrive on secure relationships, rich interactions, and sensory discovery. Our approach is grounded in creating strong emotional bonds—providing the comfort, consistency, and affection your child needs to feel safe, loved, and confident. These secure attachments lay the foundation for healthy emotional development and lifelong learning.
Even before they speak, infants are eager communicators. In our language-rich environments, we encourage early expression through sounds, gestures, facial cues, and sign language. With daily reading, singing, and responsive conversation, we nurture your baby’s ability to understand and be understood.
We also support your child’s natural curiosity through multisensory exploration. Soft textures, gentle music, engaging visuals, and hands-on experiences help infants make sense of the world around them—building early connections in both the brain and the heart.
Hear from our families
My son Elijah started going to Little Sprouts in September, he loves his teacher Julie. He has been to other daycare where he doesn't even want to go back or its always a struggle to go in, but with this daycare; he will talk about it to everyone and always has nice things to say about his teacher Julie. I am glad we found this place, because when I am at ease when I am at work and that's a blessing.
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.
Our son is always happy to go to school at Little Sprouts and loves to give all the teachers hugs. I’m so happy his first teachers have been so loving. Everyone has been wonderful about accommodating his schedule.
Little sprouts in Lawrence are doing great job with my two little ones, they take good care of my 5month old girl who just started with them, all the teachers in infant 3 are awesome, respectful, friendly and very caring . Also the pre school 1! in fact I really appreciate all the support they give to my kid and all the children they take care of they are wonderful people, I also appreciate all the management team they are the best. So lucky to be part of the school.
We moved to the area last year so have only been with Little Sprouts for about a year, but it has been the best experience. My baby absolutely adores Ms. Iliana, who has gone above and beyond with the love and care she's provided. My big kid has grown SO much this year with Ms. Jenn and Ms. Allison, who have both done so much to make him feel comfortable and help him come out of his shell. We're so happy we're with Little Sprouts!
