Little Sprouts

Little Sprouts in Medford is a branch of Little Sprouts Early Education & Child Care, a network of daycare and preschool schools for young children. Its programs aim to build a lifelong love of learning by nurturing each child’s curiosity and creativity, while developing social and emotional skills, resilience and a sense of belonging. Teachers emphasize foundational language, knowledge and skills meant to prepare children to thrive.

Learning follows the network’s LEARN philosophy, which lets children’s questions lead and favors sensory play, process art, outdoor learning and open-ended discovery. The curriculum practices anti-bias early education, introducing children to a wide range of cultures and perspectives. Safety is a constant focus, with every school assigning a trained Health, Safety and Security Coordinator to oversee daily safety protocols and compliance, and medication handled under strict procedures.
