Mission to Foster Growth in a Safe, Nurturing Environment
In the spring of 2022, Little Sprouts proudly joined the Little Newtons family of early childhood education centers. The vibrant, creative classrooms and outdoor play areas of our pre-K schools provide endless opportunities for children to explore, learn, and grow. The early years are the foundation of lifelong learning, so our dedicated teachers and directors strive to offer an exceptional experience for every child. From infants to school-age summer care, children at our centers thrive in an environment that fosters their love of learning, play, and discovery at every stage of development.
Preparing Young Learners for Kindergarten Success
Our exclusive pre-kindergarten program offers a rich blend of knowledge, excitement, and adventure, facilitating early development in a supportive, engaging environment. We believe the first five years are critical for a child’s growth, setting the stage for a lifetime of learning and achievement. Our commitment is to create an exceptional space where children can grow, reach their milestones, and exceed their potential in every development area.
Program Structure and Curriculum
Literacy and Language Development
Our private pre-K program focuses on building essential language and literacy skills for young learners. Activities develop vocabulary, phonemic awareness, and early reading skills. Through storytelling, reading, and letter recognition exercises, children improve their language skills, fostering a love of reading and enhancing their communication abilities from an early age.
Early Math and Science Exploration
Our hands-on pre-K curriculum introduces basic math concepts, such as counting, shapes, and patterns, through engaging activities that make learning fun and accessible. Simple science experiments encourage natural curiosity about the world, inviting children to explore, observe, and ask questions, which instills early critical thinking skills and a love of discovery.
Social and Emotional Skills
Our pre-K academic readiness program emphasizes teamwork, sharing, and empathy. Children learn to express their emotions through group activities and practice constructive conflict resolution. Children gain valuable social skills in our supportive environment, helping them understand different perspectives and develop strong, respectful relationships with their peers.
Creative Expression and Arts
At Little Newtons, children’s creativity thrives through engaging art projects that inspire self-expression. Daily activities include music, dance, and dramatic play, offering children fun, hands-on experiences that encourage imagination, coordination, and confidence in a lively, joyful setting.
