Ms. Haeleigh and Mr. Joey have been engaging, understanding and supportive teachers as our son transitioned to the Preschool room. He looks forward to school every day and all of the teachers and Maria, the director, are always responsive and caring with the students and our family. We are so thankful for the community at Little Sprouts for our kids!

Little Sprouts is a wonderful childcare center! The staff is fantastic, and they are always prepared each day with engaging activities for my daughter. The center is clean and safe, and I can tell how devoted the team is to delivering quality education and care for all of the kids. I have zero concerns about leaving my daughter in their care. Thank you Little Sprouts Merrimack!

My son has been at this daycare for over a year and has learned a lot. Lisy & Dominique went above and beyond to ensure my child ate and slept (they didn’t have to) while he was in toddler 2. They are outstanding teachers and the kids & parents love them.

M.s Christina in the preschool room has supported my child during his transition to preschool and has been super understanding and kind. All of the team members including Yvonne, the director & Michelle, the assistant director are great.

My son has been with Sheila Vanessa and the rest of the Arlington Little Sprouts teachers since July 2021. I am so thankful for all of their love and support! They have a genuine love for each one of their children and their families! They have been awesome about communication and are very intuitive to the children in their care! They send me awesome pictures of my son doing fun activities and they really brighten my day! I am thankful for the whole Arlington Little Sprouts Team!
