City Sprouts Preschool

At City Sprouts Preschool, we are committed to providing a nurturing and inspiring environment where every child can explore, grow, and discover through individual and collaborative experiences. Our integrated community values each child as unique, with a program that cultivates imagination and a love of learning.

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is inspired by the Reggio Emilia Approach, which emphasizes the importance of emergent curriculum, self-directed play, and the environment as the "third teacher." We believe that children have an innate curiosity, sense of wonder, and a strong desire to learn. They are capable of creating their own learning path driven by their interests, interactions with others, and the environment around them. Our teachers observe the children and develop activities and ideas based on their interests, providing a fluid and changing curriculum that scaffolds and guides the children rather than directs them.

Our Program

We offer full-day, partial-day, and full-week programs for children in a large, developmentally appropriate indoor and outdoor space. Our program is designed to provide children with the freedom to explore, create, and learn through open-ended play, and the ability to guide the curriculum with their interests and ideas. We provide organic homemade snacks and lunches for the children, teaching them the importance of nourishing their minds and bodies, and the value of community by sharing meals together.

Our Community

City Sprouts Preschool is a collaborative community that values the entire learning process, from observation and documentation to guidance and support. We believe that every child's thoughts, opinions, and feelings are valued, and they are competent and capable learners. Our teachers and staff are dedicated to creating a loving and nurturing environment that supports each child's unique individuality, while fostering strong bonds and friendships with peers and families.
