Little Sprouts - Melrose

You know you've chosen the right early education program when it just feels right. Everything at Little Sprouts is part of our joyful mission to make children feel happy and parents feel confident. When we first opened Little Sprouts in 1982, we knew we were onto something big. We realized the importance of giving children an early start in education and the amazing impact it can have on their lifelong development. Today, we continue to be an innovator in the field of early education by creating a learning approach that gives new meaning and dimension to the concept of literacy.

Curriculum Approach

It is not only what we teach but how we teach that makes the difference. Our goal at Little Sprouts is to enable children to become eager learners while preparing them for success in Kindergarten and beyond. Our Budding Scholars Approach, based on the most effective teaching methodologies and backed by over 30 years of experience, delivers a child-centered approach to education. To ensure children are learning at a pace in which they can excel, our educators design individualized learning goals to guide them to the next level. We focus on developing the whole child by fostering literacy across a breadth of areas encompassing reading, math, science, social-emotional literacy, health, physical wellness and the arts. With the foundation of our Budding Scholars curriculum, your child is inspired to develop a lifelong love of learning and discovery.

By providing an environment that supports interactive learning and collaborative play, we support your child in making friends and developing core skills at our Stratham school.
