Sprouting Smarties Child Care

Child care
Preschool
In-Home daycare
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 "family" 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.
