The Preschool & Pre-K Classrooms
In our preschool and pre-K classrooms, children thrive as they channel their curiosity and energy into playful exploration, expressing their individuality and celebrating the unique qualities of their friends.
Ages 2.9 years to 5 years
The preschool and pre-K years are a time of tremendous growth as children expand their processing, social, and foundational learning skills. During this developmental stage, children are eager to learn, explore, and express themselves. Our preschool and pre-K classrooms are designed to support this critical period by fostering independence, creativity and a love of learning. We provide a rich, engaging environment that encourages hands-on learning, social interaction, and skill-building through play across key areas of your child’s development.
Nurturing curious minds and caring hearts
Preschoolers and pre-K children are naturally curious and eager to connect with others. Our program nurtures this curiosity and fosters strong relationships by providing experiences that encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, and meaningful play. As children explore early literacy, math, and foundational academic skills, they also learn empathy, cooperation, and conflict resolution through guided social interactions and group play. Our caring teachers model positive behavior, support emotional growth, and help children build the self-confidence they need to thrive—both in learning and in life.
Growing strong bodies, bright minds, and creative spirits
As children grow, they develop the physical, cognitive, and creative skills that form the foundation for lifelong learning. In our schools, active play on state-of-the-art playgrounds helps build strength, balance, and coordination, while fine motor skills are strengthened through hands-on activities like drawing, cutting, and writing. Language and literacy development is woven into every part of the day through storytelling, singing, and engaging reading instruction that builds vocabulary and fosters a love of books. At the same time, our thoughtfully designed environments invite children to explore the world through art, music, and imaginative play—sparking creativity, building confidence, and encouraging new ways of thinking and understanding.
Hear from our families
We love Little Sprouts Stratham! Returning to work from maternity leave was tough, once I met all of the teacher and saw the classrooms it made me so much more comfortable. I can see the genuine care each teacher has for their students. The school has great communication and incredible staff. Ms. Taryn, Ms. Ksenia, Ms. Hilary and Ms. Leda have been amazing, we love them! I highly recommend this school!
McKayla and Kelsey are absolutely amazing teachers to my son and all of the other children in their classroom. The staff and admin at NA little sprouts are all welcoming and happy to see every parent and child that walks through the door. They truly make it a great place and atmosphere for little minds to grow and learn.
We have two children enrolled at Little Sprouts in Dedham and have experience from the infant room all the way through pre-school. All of the teachers are kind, enthusiastic and caring, and made the transition into school a breeze for both kids. Karen & Alyssa are super organized & communicative. We enjoy getting pictures of the kids throughout the day - often it is hard to get them to leave at the end of the day!
we lucked out finding this place! great school that has continually invested in the children and facilities to get even better. my kid loves it there, and has been with them since she was an infant. she considers her all the teachers she's had as her friends, and still goes to visit her former ones frequently, even though she's moved up. not only that but she's learning and thriving, and everyone that works there deserves credit for it.
Little Sprouts is a wonderful childcare center! The staff is fantastic, and they are always prepared each day with engaging activities for my daughter. The center is clean and safe, and I can tell how devoted the team is to delivering quality education and care for all of the kids. I have zero concerns about leaving my daughter in their care. Thank you Little Sprouts Merrimack!
