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
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.
Our boys have been at Little Sprouts in Amesbury for a year and a half and a year, respectively, and in that time the staff has become more like an extension of our family. The teachers care deeply about the well being and development of the children and aren't shy to share their concerns or highlights, which we appreciate so much. We've seen incredible growth of social skills, language skills, and more and will be so sad when age out of Little Sprouts.
I really like this place. The teachers and staff are all super nice, it's not overwhelming. I have experienced daycares that are way too loud and crazy and it's not like that at all, this place has a nice cozy feel. They do a really good job communicating with the parents, it always feels safe and is a really a nice learning environment and most importantly my kid loves it. I highly recommend it.
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.
Little sprouts in Lawrence are doing great job with my two little ones, they take good care of my 5month old girl who just started with them, all the teachers in infant 3 are awesome, respectful, friendly and very caring . Also the pre school 1! in fact I really appreciate all the support they give to my kid and all the children they take care of they are wonderful people, I also appreciate all the management team they are the best. So lucky to be part of the school.
