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
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!
Ms. Nicole and Ms. Tanisha are the best! Our son has been going to Little Sprouts in Wilmington for a couple of months and we are very impressed with the care and early education he receives at a such young age. He is in the toddler class and through play and activities he is learning so much. The teachers are caring, competent and really stick to a routine and a curriculum. Thank you Little Sprouts and the entire staff at the Wilmington location!
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!
My daughter's first daycare experience at Milton Little Sprouts has been wonderful. The staff is caring, attentive, and focused on creating a positive, engaging environment for the kids. They emphasize both learning and play, which has really helped my daughter’s social and cognitive development. The facility is well-maintained, and I always felt confident that she was in good hands. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a nurturing, educational daycare setting!
I cannot express enough how amazing everyone is at Little Sprouts Andover. Teachers and admin are caring and ensure my son adjusted well to their schedule being that he was at home full- time. My toddler gets so happy to get ready to go to daycare every morning. Pictures and updates are sent daily through their app. I cannot recommend this place enough!
