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 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!
Morgan loves both his teachers Miss Jenna and Miss Isabel! Talks about all the activities the teachers help the kids do whenever he's in school. They're just wonderful and as a parent I feel my child is safe and in the right place. The teachers have worked with my son to help him improve with his skills and can't thank them enough.
To the rest of the staff thank you for being there whenever we need your help. We've never regretted starting our kids' schooling with Little Sprouts.
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!
Our child has been enrolled at Little Sprouts Watertown for almost three years. Since our first day, the Management team and all of the Teachers have been excellent. Anytime there has been an issue, a question, or a need, they have always taken the time to listen, understand, and demonstrate their commitment to our child's growth and success. A great facility with a truly wonderful team of professionals!
Ms. Nicole and Ms. Tanisha are the best! Our son has been going to Little Sprouts in Wilmington for a couple of months and we are very impressed with the care and early education he receives at a such young age. He is in the toddler class and through play and activities he is learning so much. The teachers are caring, competent and really stick to a routine and a curriculum. Thank you Little Sprouts and the entire staff at the Wilmington location!
