Sprouts School

About Sprouts School

Sprouts School is a small neighborhood based nature preschool with a learning through play philosophy.  We use the theoretical base of several educational philosophers, including Montessori, Waldorf, Reggio Emilia, Noddings and Friere to create a dynamic pedagogy that grows with the children in our care.  We maintain low student to teacher ratios within our classes in order to best meet the needs of our students and spend 50% of our day outside, weather and air quality permitting.  Our curriculum is based in nature but we use scientific methods and terminology with plenty of space to also follow the children’s interests. 

The primary school serves children ages 3 to 6 from 9:00am - 2:00pm. We offer 2-day, 3-day and 5-day a week options.  We follow a traditional school schedule with breaks at Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break and Summer and there will also be Summer Camp programming available. In addition to the Primary School, there is an Early Learners school for children ages 6 weeks through 2. We also offer extended care hours that children from the Primary School and Early Learners can attend.  

Sprouts School is a non-religious school and is a partnership between Sprouting Curiosity Collective and Sunset Ridge Collective.
