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. We love and appreciate their help and love towards our little one ever since. Then as normal as it can be for any parent, her transition to preschool was scary at first, more so for me 🤭. However, we were accepted by Ms. Zahara and Ms…

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

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.
Ashley Adair
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.
