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
We loved our experience with Little Sprouts in Peabody!
My daughter learned so much within a few weeks of enrolling & was always so happy to be there.
The staff was always welcoming and communicative. The teachers do a lot of fun activities with the kids, and daily updates/pictures were sent to me, which was extremely reassuring for a new mom like myself.
I recommend LS 100%!
We love Miss Nicole - she has been the teacher for both our kids and they adore her! Our oldest asks for her all the time!
Ms Cook and Ms Rose are wonderful teachers. Our son absolutely loves going to school and we know he learns so much for them and his peers. He tells us all about the fun daily activities and we couldn’t ask for a better learning environment for our kids.
We know both of our kiddos are in good hands with the entire Peabody Little Sprouts Team ❤️
Little Sprouts is a fantastic daycare in Nashua. Located just over the MA / NH line, it’s convenient to access before and after work.
The staff are kind, dedicated, and invested in each child’s care and growth. My son is happy everyday when I pick him up from school.
They do a great job of creating a fun and engaging environment for the kids - hosting various theme days and events throughout the year. I highly recommend this to any parents looking for a great daycare for their kids.
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.
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!
