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

Highly recommend! Our son has been at Little Sprouts for about 5 months now and we are very impressed! The teachers are very loving and do a lot of great activities with the kiddos. Our 4-year old daughter (at a different school) often comes with us to pickup our son and the teachers always greet her by name and give her a big hello, which makes her feel very special. Their warmth is greatly appreciated! I would recommend Little Sprouts without hesitation.

As a first time mom, I am extremely pleased with the care of my son every single day. He enjoys coming to school each day and has loved all of his teachers thus far !! Ms. Jenna and Brooke were amazing infant teachers and took great care of my son as an individual. Ms. Ayri his current infant/toddler teacher has done so much to make the transition from infants to toddlers, smooth and easy for the both of us. Thank you !!

My child is 8 months old and has been enrolled at Little Sprouts in the infant room since age 4 months. I found the facility to be updated and clean in terms of supplies and equipment. Administration and teachers/ care takers provide great communication with parents. I love our infant teachers Jenna and Brooke.

My wife and I can't say enough positive things about Little Sprouts Watertown. Our 3 year old has been there for just over 6 months and absolutely loves the center. The ability to get outside and be active on their playgrounds is fantastic. The teachers have been so supportive and nurturing as our daughter develops. Just an amazing place!

Little Sprouts Melrose is a truly positive and welcoming environment for both children and staff. The school provides exceptional care and education for infants through preschool, and it’s inspiring to work alongside such educated and
dedicated teachers. What stands out most is the strong partnership between families and staff—parents are deeply involved and form a supportive, connected community that makes this school feel like a second home.
