Our approach

Every child is a whole person

Little Sprouts opened in 2016 and has grown to 80 children and 18 teachers, all with early childhood education training. We plan each day around play, because young children learn most through it.

Teachers track milestones, read aloud daily, and send photos and notes home through the parent app so you can see the day even from your desk.

What parents say

Dr. Park walked us through the infant room on our first tour and answered every question about the 4 to 1 ratio. Our daughter settled in within a week.

Renee M., May 2026

The daily app reports show meals, naps, and photos. I stopped calling at lunch because I already know how the day is going.

Carlos G., April 2026

Pickup is at 6, which works with my commute. Teachers hand off a two minute summary at the door every evening.
