Program Overview

Program Highlights and Goals

Peace of Mind has been a proud provider of high-quality childcare for Woodbury, Minnesota, families since 1993. In spring 2022, we joined the Little Newtons Family of early childhood education and care centers. This partnership established a strong bond over providing the best possible learning environments for children of all ages, from infants to 12 years old. 


Our after-school program provides a safe, supportive environment tailored to children’s social, physical, and academic needs.

Hours of Operation

We’re open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, offering flexibility for busy families. This flexibility ensures your peace of mind in knowing your child’s needs are met while you’re away. 


While your child is in our care, they’ll have access to our colorful classrooms and outdoor play areas, helping them develop a lifelong love of learning. Our activities effectively engage a wide age range of children, fostering vital social skills such as cooperation and turn-taking. Our academic after-school program allows children to rest, use materials, and engage in fun activities.

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.
