Every aspect of a preschool brings something special to every preschool experience. Our small consistent community amplifies this effect.

• Sprouts is teacher-owned, creating a space where the caregivers are consistent, engaged, and committed to building relationships with every child and family. 

• Sprouts is small with consistent enrollment and teachers, which allows children to form complex relationships with life-long friends and bolsters problem-solving, compromise, and empathy.

• Sprouts is all about extended periods of free imaginative play. Teachers stand back and assist as needed, toys are open-ended and full of loose parts, and movement is highly encouraged.  Children at Sprouts are constantly engrossed in elaborate play of their own creation and choosing, in which they learn communication, imagination, and independent thinking skills. 

• Sprouts has a 'home-built' nature playground; you won't find commercial playground equipment here. Each area, structure, and part has been cultivated to suit our specific requirements, creating an environment built for discovery, risk-taking, and confidence-building. 

• Sprouts can change and adapt to each group of children and families. We create curriculum, projects, and routines best suited to each specific group - their interests, their real-time local nature experiences, and their talents, abilities, needs, and development. We are constantly improving the environment, the toys and equipment, and even the lunch menu to better suit our group each year. 

As a small school with limited families enrolled, each child and family play a big part in the Sprouts experience.
