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
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!
My daughter has attended Little Sprouts from infancy up to her current preschool classroom. We have been so impressed and happy with the quality of care and with her learning ! Our kiddo loves school, and I am so grateful to Ms. Bre and her staff for all the wonderful experiences our family has had. I’ve never had to worry about whether my child is safe, cared for, and loved in my absence, which is so important to me as a mom. Thank you for all you do!
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!
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.
We have had the best experience at Little Sprouts Concord! Our oldest daughter attended from ~14 weeks old to 4 years old, and our youngest daughter has been attending for the past year. The staff there are absolutely amazing and care for the children as if they're their own. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for childcare in the area!
