Sprouting with wonder, growing with joy
By age three, children are developing empathy, social skills, and language through play and interaction. Our Sprouts program nurtures these abilities while continuing to support both fine and gross motor development in a warm, engaging environment.
Students enjoy a variety of hands-on centers including blocks, dramatic play, a Duplo table, and sensory areas. They also participate in music, yoga, ribbon dancing, felt board stories, and seasonal art projects inspired by Jewish and secular holidays.
Our staff encourages collaboration, turn-taking, and positive communication, helping children navigate early friendships and emotions. We also partner with families on potty training and healthy routines, preparing each child with confidence for their next step.
