Safe, Nurturing Environment Promoting Independence and Preschool Readiness

At Little Newtons, we believe the first five years of life are critical to laying the foundation for lifelong success. Conveniently located near the Mississippi River and Highway 169, our Champlin center fosters curiosity, growth, and achievement for toddlers while preparing them for preschool and beyond. Our mission is to nurture each child’s potential in a warm, welcoming environment where they feel safe and inspired to learn.

Program Structure:
Separate Rooms for Developmental Stages

Age-Appropriate Classrooms

Our toddler program features separate rooms for younger and older toddlers, ensuring children learn alongside peers at similar developmental stages. These age-appropriate groupings allow for focused activities tailored to toddlers’ unique growth needs. With classrooms designed to promote intellectual, social, and emotional development, our toddlers thrive in a safe and supportive environment.

Developmental Benefits of Age-Appropriate Groupings

Grouping toddlers by developmental stage fosters social interactions, boosts self-confidence, and provides opportunities for shared learning. Teachers create activities that align with toddlers’ developmental milestones, enabling them to progress at their own pace while engaging with peers. This nurturing approach ensures toddlers are supported in building the skills they need to grow academically, emotionally, and socially.

Focus Areas of Development

Physical Growth

Interactive art, music, and movement exercises help toddlers develop motor skills, balance, and coordination. These activities engage children’s senses while encouraging physical growth and social interaction in a playful environment.

Benefits of Early Childhood Development

Early childhood development is one of the most important stages of a child’s life. Childhood education is a crucial part of a child’s progress and well-being, and early learning centers provide an invaluable resource in helping children to learn, grow, and develop. When a child is enrolled at Little Sprouts, they are exposed to a variety of activities, such as art, music, science, and math, that can help them develop cognitively, emotionally, and socially. By participating in these activities in an early learning center, children can gain the skills necessary to succeed in school and beyond. Early childhood education can also help children develop language skills, which are important for their communication abilities. Additionally, early childhood education can give children the opportunity to develop self-confidence and self-esteem, which can help them as they grow and reach adulthood. With the help of Little Sprouts, children can set a strong foundation for their future, equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed.
