Our education pillars

Clear communication is at the heart of our health and safety commitment. From daily updates to rigorous protocols, we take every precaution to keep children safe, supported, and families informed.

Luminate

We create wonder by encouraging curiosity. We let questions lead learning and prioritize sensory play, process art, outdoor learning, and open-ended discovery.

Environment

Above all, we create environments that are safe and secure. From enforcing building security, to hiring trustworthy teachers, to prioritizing wellness, our number one priority is the health and safety of each and every little one in our care. Our environments are not only safe, but carefully set up with the intention of fostering exploration, curiosity, and learning.

Advocate

We build strong relationships and advocate for every child's needs. We honor each child's individuality, developmental journey, and natural pace for learning.

Respect

Our inclusive and diverse curriculum promotes equity by recognizing and valuing the unique backgrounds, cultures, abilities, and experiences of all children. We practice Anti-Bias Early Education, which means little ones are introduced to a wide range of cultural perspectives, fostering respect, empathy, and a sense of belonging.

Nurture

Through play, we help children develop critical cognitive, social and emotional skills, such as problem-solving, self-regulation, and communication. Our teachers nurture both emotional and physical safety, empowering children to explore and grow, while fostering their social and emotional intelligence and resilience.

What our families are saying

Ms. Nicole and Ms. Tanisha are the best! Our son has been going to Little Sprouts in Wilmington for a couple of months and we are very impressed with the care and early education he receives at a such young age. He is in the toddler class and through play and activities he is learning so much. The teachers are caring, competent and really stick to a routine and a curriculum. Thank you Little Sprouts and the entire staff at the Wilmington location!
Yana Patterson
We’re so thankful for the amazing care our 2-year-old daughter receives at Little Sprouts. The team is incredibly thoughtful and attentive — especially when it comes to managing her food allergies, which gives us such peace of mind. They’ve made her (and us) feel so comfortable from day one. Our daughter comes home happy, singing new songs, chatting about her teachers, and proudly showing off her arts and crafts. It’s clear she's not only safe, but loved and truly cared for.
Shaina Jackson
Our daughter has been going to Little Sprouts for almost 2 years and we’ve had a great experience. Miss Irina, Miss Sonia, Miss Becca, Miss Hannah, and many other teachers have had a big impact on her development. She’s excited to go to school everyday and we feel very comfortable dropping her off. Little Sprouts is a great program.

We have been attending Little Sprouts since our daughter was 5 months old (currently 2!) and have loved all of our teachers Miss Donna, Miss Nicole and Miss Talisha (plus the other helpers!). Our daughter thrives in school and looks forward to going. These teachers have been a huge part of our daughters development since the start. We feel confident and comfortable with our daughter at LS. The weekly Miss Robin is a great director and we appreciate her support and accommodations when needed!

My younger daughter has been in the Toddler class for one year and she absolutely loves it. Every day when I pick her up, there is a big smile on her face. The teachers and managers are wonderful and super helpful. My daughter has learned quite a lot from the daycare. There are four toddler classes and my daughter can often play with kids in different classes. We are happy to let her stay there until school age.
