Our education pillars

Clear communication is at the heart of our health and safety commitment. From daily updates to rigorous protocols, we take every precaution to keep children safe, supported, and families informed.

Luminate

We create wonder by encouraging curiosity. We let questions lead learning and prioritize sensory play, process art, outdoor learning, and open-ended discovery.

Environment

Above all, we create environments that are safe and secure. From enforcing building security, to hiring trustworthy teachers, to prioritizing wellness, our number one priority is the health and safety of each and every little one in our care. Our environments are not only safe, but carefully set up with the intention of fostering exploration, curiosity, and learning.

Advocate

We build strong relationships and advocate for every child's needs. We honor each child's individuality, developmental journey, and natural pace for learning.

Respect

Our inclusive and diverse curriculum promotes equity by recognizing and valuing the unique backgrounds, cultures, abilities, and experiences of all children. We practice Anti-Bias Early Education, which means little ones are introduced to a wide range of cultural perspectives, fostering respect, empathy, and a sense of belonging.

Nurture

Through play, we help children develop critical cognitive, social and emotional skills, such as problem-solving, self-regulation, and communication. Our teachers nurture both emotional and physical safety, empowering children to explore and grow, while fostering their social and emotional intelligence and resilience.

We absolutely love Little Sprouts Melrose! Sam and Rena do a great job here. The communication is always detailed and consistent, the daily activities are so much fun and engaging. Sydney and Isabella from Toddler 3 classroom are really nice teachers. They take such good care of our daughter and our daughter loves both of them. She has adapted so well and loves to go to school everyday. We couldn't be happier with our decision to send our little one to this wonderful school.

I am so grateful for Little Sprouts. As a first-time mom, I was very anxious about letting go of my daughter and trusting that she will have good care while I am at work, but she loves Little Sprouts! Thanks to Shanikwa, Joelma, and Stecie - our daughter is super happy at school. She loves her teachers so much that we are jealous :) Thank you so much for all of the love, kindness, and care!

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!

My son Elijah started going to Little Sprouts in September, he loves his teacher Julie. He has been to other daycare where he doesn't even want to go back or its always a struggle to go in, but with this daycare; he will talk about it to everyone and always has nice things to say about his teacher Julie. I am glad we found this place, because when I am at ease when I am at work and that's a blessing.

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!
