Little Sprouts Academy, part of the Little Newtons family of childcare facilities, has a well-earned reputation for providing the finest infant care in the Menomonie area. Families trust us because we provide a nurturing, safe, and secure environment.
Flexible Scheduling Options for Part-Time and Full-Time Care

Why Parents Trust Little Sprouts for Infant Day Care
Safety First – Licensed Facilities and Strict Safety Standards
Parents entrust their little ones to us because we demonstrate a safe and secure space for infants. We’re licensed by the State of Wisconsin, the Department of Children and Families, and the Health Department, so you can rely on our facility to maintain the highest standards.
Once enrolled, you’ll have an electronic key fob to enter our infant care facility, and you’ll need to sign your child into the classroom with their teacher before leaving. This process should give you added confidence your infant is in a safe place.
Experienced Staff Trained in CPR and First Aid
Our infant day care center has cribs for sleeping and follows a monthly inspection regimen to ensure all sleeping areas function correctly and safely. We also conduct daily health monitoring and employ thorough sanitation practices on everything your baby might touch.
Our caregivers have years of experience caring for infants, and we provide routine CPR and first aid training to keep them abreast of current practices.
Continuous Parent Communication with Real-Time Updates
You can follow along with us as we care for your infant by using our app to check our real-time updates on what they had for lunch, the games they played, and how long they slept.
Little Sprouts' Infant Care Programs
Developmental Activities – Sensory Play, Tummy Time, Music, and Language Exposure
Infants begin to learn at birth, and it’s imperative that they have a safe and nurturing place to continue learning as they grow. Our infant day care facility has various programs that foster physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development.
Our infant program includes many activities to promote physical, intellectual, social, and emotional development. An innovative curriculum involving picture books, singalongs, and puppets fosters emotional development, while physical activities such as tummy time help build core and neck strength necessary for future sitting and crawling.
Our teachers incorporate many games to stimulate your baby’s touch, sight, sound, smell, and taste. We teach five languages and build a literacy foundation through reading and sign language.
Individualized Care Plans Tailored to Each Infant's Needs
We aim to prepare your infant for important milestones at the appropriate ages. Caregivers work to have your infant roll over, sit, and crawl. Teachers start with word associations with the aim of your infant using them when they begin talking. Fine motor skills, such as handling toys and utensils, promote dexterity and confidence. We’ll also take your infant outside to play, weather permitting. We believe the fresh air and different stimuli expose them to new sensory experiences and expand their understanding.
When your infant moves into the toddler stage, they’ll be ready. Your baby will be able to use a spoon to feed themselves, respond to their name, use nonverbal communication, walk, sleep on a cot, and be ready for conversations.
Don’t be surprised to find your new toddler starting to demonstrate object permanence and an interest in friends as they exit our infant program. You’ll see them name their favorite things and ask to play their favorite games with their new-found skills.

Sleep Safety – Crib Standards and AAP Guidelines
Our infant cribs meet federal safety standards, and we conduct monthly inspections to ensure their safety. Following the American Academy of Pediatrics, we lay all infants on their backs to sleep.
Nap Routine – Natural Schedules in a Quiet, Comforting Environment
Unlike other infant care facilities with set schedules for napping, we allow your infant to sleep on their normal schedule. We’ll place them in their crib when they’re ready for a nap and let them get the rest they need when they need it. When they’re not sleeping, they’ll have access to various sensory toys to help stimulate them as they play and learn.
