What our families are saying

Our 2 year old has been going to Little Spouts since he was 5 months old and we couldn't be happier! His teachers Ms. Nicole, Ms. Donna, and Ms. Jess are amazing! We feel so grateful to have teachers who are so kind and engaging. I'm so impressed by the range of activity they plan - everything from art, to music, science projects, and dramatic play. Our son has learned so much from school and we have been so happy with the Little Sprouts team!

My son has been going to Little Sprouts in Arlington since January. He's in the infant room with Miss Izzy and Miss Christina. They take excellent care of my son, he is always so happy when he sees them at drop-off. I just love getting the pictures during the day and seeing the fun activities they have him doing. We are happy we went with Little Sprouts in Arlington!
