What learning looks like at Little Sprouts

Our LEARN philosophy reflects our belief that a love of learning begins in childhood and lasts a lifetime. When your child is in our care, their safety, health, and well‑being come first—every day. We’re committed to nurturing and supporting your child, and earning your trust as a family.

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.

How we keep your little ones safe

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.

What our families are saying

We love Little Sprouts! Our son has been there since 3+ months and has grown there emotionally and intellectually. The teachers are warm and wonderful and we treasure the community we've built there. Our son will age out of the school next year and we're already sad about it. I don't think anything will compare!

We absolutely love Little Sprouts Melrose! Sam and Rena do a great job here. The communication is always detailed and consistent, the daily activities are so much fun and engaging. Sydney and Isabella from Toddler 3 classroom are really nice teachers. They take such good care of our daughter and our daughter loves both of them. She has adapted so well and loves to go to school everyday. We couldn't be happier with our decision to send our little one to this wonderful school.

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.

We are so, so happy with LS Melrose. Rena and Sydney do a fantastic job with administration, hiring, and communications. They run a great school.

Our son's teachers, Ms. Nehemie and Ms. Jean, are absolutely fantastic. They are rays of light in our life. Dropping our child off with them every day is easy, and they take such good care of him. They are so communicative and it's amazing how much detail they can remember about every baby's day. We LOVE them and so does our child!
Caroline Culbertson
We have had our two girls enrolled at Little Sprouts for over a year and couldn’t be happier. The lesson plans are so thoughtful and it’s been amazing watching the girls grow and reach new milestones. All of the teachers (Chithra, Fez, Sarah, Grace in particular) are so engaged and communicative. You can also tell that through the leadership of Farzana and Stacey, that there’s a real feel of community and connection.
