Morning Sprouts Drop-Off Care

‍ ‍A SPACE TO GROW

Morning Sprouts is a drop-off program for children ages 2 to 4. Rooted in child-led play, this program invites children to follow their interests as they explore our thoughtfully curated toy library and engage in meaningful social interactions. In a small group of up to 8 children, with the support of caring, experienced staff, kids practice new skills and make friends through open-ended toys, songs, stories, and daily routines.

Morning Sprouts is a gentle, supportive way to build confidence before starting Pre-K, nurturing independence, connection, and a love of learning through play.

 

Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays (9:00am — 12:00pm)

  • We start with circle time, including songs and stories to practice routines and taking turns
