This review is long overdue. Both my boys go to little sprouts Nashua since they are 5 months old and we love our daycare. The teachers and leadership in this daycare are truly amazing, very caring and they report every details everyday. The place is clean, lots of toy and leaning materials for kids. Again, the best thing about this daycare is the teachers, they make me feel comfortable to know our kids are safe and being cared when we are working. Definitely recommend this place.

My child absolutely adores going to Little Sprouts. His teachers, Ms. Charlotte and Ms. Shelley are so great at creating a schedule that helps my son thrive. They are excellent communicators between everyone involved in helping care for my child. They keep the classroom clean, happy, and healthy! It makes my heart feel good to know my child is so happy at “school”
