The Infant Classroom
Babies enrolled in our schools are off to a strong start! A day in our infant class is full of hugs, cuddles, giggles and discovery.
6 weeks to 15 months
Providing a safe, nurturing, engaging environment is crucial during a baby’s first year—a time in their development when the entire foundation for all future learning and behavior will be set. Our infant classrooms are safe, cozy, nurturing environments filled with developmentally appropriate toys and materials that babies can explore freely to stimulate their development and inspire growth. Working together with parents, we will establish a daily routine—one that closely aligns with your home routine—which supports a sense of security for children.
Growing minds & moving bodies
In our infant classrooms, development happens through connection, movement, and meaningful play. We create nurturing environments designed to spark curiosity and support your baby’s natural growth. Through exploration and interactive experiences, infants begin to build essential cognitive skills—like memory, recognition, early problem-solving, and understanding cause and effect.
At the same time, we focus on physical development by encouraging both fine and gross motor skills. With open, uncluttered spaces and no stationary devices, your child is free to roll, crawl, reach, grasp, and sit up—building the strength, coordination, and confidence they need to move through the world around them. Every interaction, toy, and routine is thoughtfully chosen to support whole-child development from the very beginning.
Connecting, communicating & exploring
Babies thrive on secure relationships, rich interactions, and sensory discovery. Our approach is grounded in creating strong emotional bonds—providing the comfort, consistency, and affection your child needs to feel safe, loved, and confident. These secure attachments lay the foundation for healthy emotional development and lifelong learning.
Even before they speak, infants are eager communicators. In our language-rich environments, we encourage early expression through sounds, gestures, facial cues, and sign language. With daily reading, singing, and responsive conversation, we nurture your baby’s ability to understand and be understood.
We also support your child’s natural curiosity through multisensory exploration. Soft textures, gentle music, engaging visuals, and hands-on experiences help infants make sense of the world around them—building early connections in both the brain and the heart.
Hear from our families
From Day one it’s been a great experience. First time mom with a shy daughter I was filled with anxiety . My baby has shined and excelled and she has broken out of her shyness bombing with personality, learning the things needed. Worried for the school year but I know she walking outta little sprouts with the tools she need to excel in kindergarten ❤️
My kids have been apart of the little sprouts family for the past 3 years & it has been a great experience for both me & my children.
The teachers go above & beyond & are very empathetic to the children & their learning experience! I couldn’t be more proud of my little one’s progress thus far
I am so impressed with the quality of care and education my child receives at this preschool. The teachers are so loving and nurturing, and I can see how much my child has grown and learned since starting here. The facilities are clean and welcoming, and I feel confident leaving my child in their care every day. I highly recommend to any parents looking for a safe and enriching environment for their little ones.
We’ve been sending our little guy to Little Sprouts Natick since he was 5 months old. He’s still in the infant classroom and we have loved it so far. They have always been so responsive when I check on him throughout the day and he loves his teachers! We feel very safe with him there and would recommend to anyone in the area. It’s hard leaving your little ones but I always know he’s in safe, loving hands when he’s there and that the teachers treat him as they would their own.
My son has been going to Little Sprouts in Arlington since January. He's in the infant room with Miss Izzy and Miss Christina. They take excellent care of my son, he is always so happy when he sees them at drop-off. I just love getting the pictures during the day and seeing the fun activities they have him doing. We are happy we went with Little Sprouts in Arlington!
