Child care
What sets Sprouting Smarties apart: As an In-Home Preschool, we are able to balance the individualized attention your child deserves with the Pre-K curriculum to have them prepared and ready for Kindergarten. We will focus on developing your child's self-worth and confidence. Lots of hugs! We have the ability to develop a strong relationship in teaming together to successfully raise your precious child. Issues such as food choices, potty training, behaviors (good and bad), socialization, and early education can be resolved through mutually beneficial communications. A small, (and manageable), number of children in my care means that we can often take &quot;family&quot; outings to the park or story hour, or even nature hikes or sidewalk strolls. I am an educator at heart and love to watch all children learn and grow; I believe every child is beautiful, smart, and full of potential. We started out as a small in-home Nursery, but have continued to grow year-to-year. Sprouting Smarties is now a fully functioning Preschool with a new classroom and playground. Though our business has evolved, we still maintain our ideal teacher to child ratio to ensure the best learning and growing experience for your children.

Jamie says "Michelle is great! My daughter loved going there she teaches them so much and they have so much fun doing it. Best childcare/preschool."

Our highly trained staff guide preschool through kindergarten students in curriculum including, but not limited to: language arts, math, science, botany, zoology, geography, engineering, practical life, sensorial, music, art, theatre, cooking, sewing and gardening.

PHILOSOPHY We believe the cornerstone of the Montessori approach to learning is your child s natural curiosity. children should have the opportunities to develop to their maximum abilities. Teachers have the responsibility to provide those opportunities for this development to occur. each child is a unique individual and should be allowed to develop at his/her own pace. that each child is capable of developing a positive self image and to feel good about who they are. GOALS The primary goals of our Montessori-based approach to primary and Kindergarten education are to: develop positive attitudes toward school promote self-confidence & self-care skills help develop habits of concentration, initiative and persistence foster curiosity, inner security and a sense of order introduce the child to the joy of learning build a strong foundation for future academic growth
