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
Our daughter has been going to Little Sprouts for almost 2 years and we’ve had a great experience. Miss Irina, Miss Sonia, Miss Becca, Miss Hannah, and many other teachers have had a big impact on her development. She’s excited to go to school everyday and we feel very comfortable dropping her off. Little Sprouts is a great program.
I am so impressed with the quality of care and education my child receives at this preschool. The teachers are so loving and nurturing, and I can see how much my child has grown and learned since starting here. The facilities are clean and welcoming, and I feel confident leaving my child in their care every day. I highly recommend to any parents looking for a safe and enriching environment for their little ones.
I have worked with Little sprouts for 13 years and counting- and now I have my infant enrolled at the center. I love my years of teaching, and I’m so thankful for an amazing environment for my son to learn and grow. Walking into the school there is so much evidence of learning, and we are filled with an amazing group of staff that has much experience with children. I’m happy to work here with people who share a love for kids just like I do!
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!
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.
