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.

Located on a quiet side street near the former Arsenal Mall and Soldiers Field Road, Little Sprouts Watertown is modern gem designed specifically to inspire a love of learning. Our spacious, brightly-colored classrooms provide plenty of room for your child to discover new adventures and meet new friends.

Attached to the school, two private playgrounds provide a means for your child to expend some of that seemingly limitless energy. Our toddler and preschool play spaces provide safe, developmentally-appropriate areas for your child to enjoy spending time outside. As a bonus, our Watertown school also boasts an indoor play area for your child to play and run during rainy days or cold winter months.

Since I opened Linda's Family Child Care in 2002, my mission has been to provide excellent, licensed child care for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers in a family child care home. I believe parents shouldn't struggle when deciding between a family child care and a center or preschool. Their children should receive the best of both worlds. So, I created a child care program that offers the closeness, attentiveness, and homeyness of a warm and nurturing home environment as well as the stimulation, learning experiences, and variety of a center or preschool.

What is NeighborSchools?

Peapod Daycare is a family child care service provider located in the Newton area serving children from 3 months to school age. We specialize in bilingual care (English and Mandarin).

SolBe is an early learning center that re-imagines traditional notions of child care and nursery school. Our name defines our purpose: "sol" from the Spanish word meaning sun and the English word "be", combining into a name meaning "to be full of light". Learning is not the filling of a cup, but the lighting of a fire.

We aim to create the highest quality early learning experiences through a seed-to-table nutrition program, thoughtfully designed facilities, especially-trained-for-this-work educators, and a school culture influenced by the Reggio Emilia approach integrated with Spanish immersion.

Your wellness and the wellness of your child shouldn't be a question of either/or. SolBe is an early learning center committed to yes/and. Our dynamic program continually adapts and improves as we nurture healthy, engaged lives for children and adults.

The SolBe educational philosophy is heavily influenced by the Reggio Emilia approach; we believe children to be competent and capable citizens of our society. As such, we are careful to craft experiences and learning opportunities based on what we observe about children. We constantly look for opportunities to scaffold children s learning, which encourages them to be active participants in their learning experiences. This means allowing children the freedom to play and explore on their own accord, and the educator taking a role as a guide instead of the traditional gatekeeper of knowledge.

Our educational philosophy also encompasses best practices related to language immersion education. We are a Spanish language immersion program, which means that our day-to-day activities happen in Spanish. We value bilingual learning- and the cognitive and social emotional benefits which bilingualism promotes.

Attention has been paid to the interactions between the physical learning environment and children, as well as how the environment impacts the interactions between educators and children. Our spaces have been intentionally designed to shift to the changing needs and emotions of the humans who use them. We re inspired by the Montessori method and its attention to beautiful home-like environments, which is reflected in our design.

Our seed-to-table nutrition program is another element of our educational philosophy. Research shows that when children are active participants in the growing and preparation of their food, they are more likely to try, and enjoy, new foods. Children participate in a food preparation task daily.

Newly open light, bright, caring, engaging and licensed childcare where safety of the children is our top priority!
