Our baby girl has grown so much with the help of the teachers at Little Sprouts, Lowell. Beginning her steps at toddler 2 with Ms.Rosa and Ms.Isabella, she developed her character and love for learning new things. Rosa and Isabella became part of our small family.

I love this daycare my Granddaughter is learning so much she keeps to herself most of the time but I like how some of the teachers are very nice and caring for the kids

Yaritza Hernandez

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.

Every teacher my daughter has had so far has been absolutely amazing. My daughter can be a handful but they still show nothing but love for her. And even though she's a meanie, she loves her teachers so much! Miss Kim is her favorite this year. Recently cried just because she wanted to help her decorate the classroom door.
