Programs that grow with every child.

Designed for the youngest members of our community, Little Sprouts serves as a gentle, welcoming introduction to the school environment. For many children, this is their very first preschool experience away from home. Our focus is on nurturing a secure sense of belonging, easing the transition into school life, and establishing early foundations for learning. Through a warm and supportive environment, we help our little ones build comforting routines, navigate structured group settings, and spark a lifelong love of discovery.

Junior Sprouts is thoughtfully designed for children who are ready to take the next step in their early education journey. This program is a dynamic blend of three- and four-year-olds, beautifully accommodating younger children with earlier birthdays who are already showing readiness for a more robust daily rhythm. With a focus on expanding social-emotional dynamics and deeper peer connections, Junior Sprouts bridges the gap between early socialization and collaborative learning. As part of this comprehensive program, our Friday classes transition into an immersive outdoor Nature School experience, allowing children to expand their learning directly into the natural world.

Kinder Sprouts is our comprehensive Junior Kindergarten and Kindergarten program combined. Crafted for our oldest learners, this intentional experience blends academic readiness with creative, child-led inquiry. To foster deep environmental connection and resilience, Tuesdays and Thursdays are spent entirely in Nature School alongside our dedicated educators.

Additionally, every other Friday, our Kinder Sprouts visit Crofton Manor to participate in our unique Intergenerational Learning Program, where they connect, share stories, and build beautiful, meaningful relationships with their “Grand-Friends.” This complete program ensures each child feels confident, socially responsible, and fully prepared for the school years ahead.

RootED is an intentional, play-based literacy program where children explore the essential building blocks of reading and writing through joyful, hands-on experiences. From immersive storytelling and rhyming games to sensory letter play, early printing, and foundational letter blending, children naturally develop phonemic awareness, vocabulary, and a lifelong love for language. We warmly welcome children of all skill and experience levels; because every learning journey is beautifully unique, we meet your child exactly where they are, customizing our activities to match each individual child’s readiness and pace. RootED helps little learners grow genuinely confident in expressing themselves, planting the foundational seeds for strong literacy skills that will flourish for years to come.

STEMlings is an intentional, play-based program where children discover early Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math concepts through hands-on, joyful experiences. Through collaborative building, sorting, measuring, and interactive experimenting, children naturally explore how things work and why. STEMlings nurtures natural curiosity, creativity, and critical problem-solving skills, helping little learners develop the confidence to think deeply, ask questions, and fearlessly explore the world around them.

Our dedicated midday lunch care designed for children staying with us between morning and afternoon programs. The Nourished Table provides a supervised transition for children whose schedules bridge multiple programs. Our educators are there to gently guide the children as they wind down, helping them change out of their outdoor gear and settle comfortably into the indoor space. As the children eat their lunch, the teacher reads a storybook aloud, creating a calm, nourishing, and cozy environment.

Please note that parents are required to pack a completely nut-free lunch for their child.
