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 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!
My son has been with Sheila Vanessa and the rest of the Arlington Little Sprouts teachers since July 2021. I am so thankful for all of their love and support! They have a genuine love for each one of their children and their families! They have been awesome about communication and are very intuitive to the children in their care! They send me awesome pictures of my son doing fun activities and they really brighten my day! I am thankful for the whole Arlington Little Sprouts Team!
Little Sprouts South End is fantastic! The teachers are amazing, hands on and help make sure kids are learning. I love the school not just for its great academic approach but the administration is wonderful, facilities are clean and kids look forward to going to school
My little one is a toddler at little sprouts and we are so grateful for Ms. Jill! She’s been so warm, caring, kind and has made my daughter’s experience very positive. My daughter now looks forward to seeing Ms. Jill and it makes me so much better knowing my child is in good hands.
My two kids have attended for almost 3 years now, best decision ever! Love daycares’ that follow a curriculum, use real-time apps for parental monitoring, enforce safety protocols all while feeling like your home away from home. Staff are amazing 💖
