Partnerships
Little Sprouts is proud to partner with many amazing organizations in our work. Together, we are committed to ensuring that all children receive a high-quality early education, and enter school ready to learn and prepared for lifelong success.
Some of our unique partnerships:
Early Reading First (ERF)
Early Reading First, part of the President's 'Good Start, Grow Smart' initiative, is designed to transform existing early education programs into centers of excellence that provide high-quality early education to young children, especially those from low-income families. The overall purpose of the program is to prepare young children to enter kindergarten with the necessary language, cognitive, and early reading skills to prevent reading difficulties and ensure school success.
Little Sprouts is proud to be one of only 30 schools in the country to have received an Early Reading First grant, which we have now received for three consecutive years! We have also been designated a 'Preschool Center of Excellence'.
