About Little Sprouts

Little Sprouts can be an instrumental part of the learning journey for the students and families of Austin. Little Sprouts is a center-based early care and education program, and as a center provides that school-like environment that’s structured for students to learn, grow and thrive. This environment can help prepare students for the levels ahead and kindergarten. As a center, as well, Little Sprouts has the space and resources for activities, an enriching curriculum and plenty of peers of similar ages for students to learn and laugh with. If you’re a Austin parent looking for flexible early childhood education, too, look no more. The part-time schedule at Little Sprouts allows parents to get the best of professional care and education in a setting amongst a child’s peers but also not be away from family for too long. Students will enjoy a learning environment that promotes growth and development all the while getting used to a structured day, which will help the transition into the future. In addition, Little Sprouts teaches a mixed-age curriculum that facilities peer learning and communal growth. In a mixed-age classroom like at Little Sprouts, students receive open-ended, stimulating activities and are encouraged to move at their own pace. Younger students receive help and encouragement from older students, boosting their confidence and self-esteem, and older students get to lend a helping hand, teaching empathy and the joy of giving. Mixed-age learning replicates the best of a family or neighborhood group structure as children socialize with peers a little ahead or a little behind their own development path.
