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
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 started our baby boy at Little Sprouts in January 2023 and have nothing but incredible things to say. He is now 7 months old and the teachers Ms. Kristen & Ms. Leda in the infant classroom are amazing, passionate and just really enjoy what they do. They send us pictures and always keep us updated. They are so kind && do so many fun activities to help him grow. Overall, everyone we see there is so welcoming and kind, we highly recommend little sprouts Stratham! 😊
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.
Our experience with Little Sprouts Hingham has been nothing short of amazing. As first time parents we were so nervous about leaving our baby girl but from the start we’ve felt so comfortable knowing that she’s in such great hands. We are so thankful for our baby girl’s amazing teachers, Miss Becky and Miss Julianne - thank you for taking such great care of Scarlett! We love seeing pictures of her day and how happy she looks.
I am so grateful for Little Sprouts. As a first-time mom, I was very anxious about letting go of my daughter and trusting that she will have good care while I am at work, but she loves Little Sprouts! Thanks to Shanikwa, Joelma, and Stecie - our daughter is super happy at school. She loves her teachers so much that we are jealous :) Thank you so much for all of the love, kindness, and care!
