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
I love this daycare my Granddaughter is learning so much she keeps to herself most of the time but I like how some of the teachers are very nice and caring for the kids
Little Sprouts is a fantastic daycare in Nashua. Located just over the MA / NH line, it’s convenient to access before and after work.
The staff are kind, dedicated, and invested in each child’s care and growth. My son is happy everyday when I pick him up from school.
They do a great job of creating a fun and engaging environment for the kids - hosting various theme days and events throughout the year. I highly recommend this to any parents looking for a great daycare for their kids.
I cannot express enough how amazing everyone is at Little Sprouts Andover. Teachers and admin are caring and ensure my son adjusted well to their schedule being that he was at home full- time. My toddler gets so happy to get ready to go to daycare every morning. Pictures and updates are sent daily through their app. I cannot recommend this place enough!
Morgan loves both his teachers Miss Jenna and Miss Isabel! Talks about all the activities the teachers help the kids do whenever he's in school. They're just wonderful and as a parent I feel my child is safe and in the right place. The teachers have worked with my son to help him improve with his skills and can't thank them enough.
To the rest of the staff thank you for being there whenever we need your help. We've never regretted starting our kids' schooling with Little Sprouts.
We are so, so happy with LS Melrose. Rena and Sydney do a fantastic job with administration, hiring, and communications. They run a great school.
Our son's teachers, Ms. Nehemie and Ms. Jean, are absolutely fantastic. They are rays of light in our life. Dropping our child off with them every day is easy, and they take such good care of him. They are so communicative and it's amazing how much detail they can remember about every baby's day. We LOVE them and so does our child!
