About:
Hi and welcome to Little Sprouts Learning Place. My name is Theresa and I am a married, experienced mom of 2 adults, both in college. We have two dogs, both are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. They are both friendly and up to date on shots. They spend most of the time out of the daycare space but do come say hi to the kids on occasion. I started my childcare when my own children were preschool age. I always wanted to own my own business and teach Preschool so I felt owning my own childcare would be the best of both worlds. In my free time I like to shop, play board games, cheer my kids on in their sports, and hang out with my dogs and family.
I offer a loving learning environment for your child!
I believe children learn through hands on activities that engage all their senses; and that they can develop independent skills when given the opportunity to try. The children in my care will be given the opportunity to develop their social, emotional and thinking skills. Children deserve a safe environment that promotes learning, personal growth and is also fun.
I follow a themed based curriculum and daily schedule. The children at Little Sprouts are offered preschool experiences that include arts and crafts, alphabet and language activities, music and movement, hands-on math and science, as well as social development. Free play is also a very important part of our day. These activities cover all areas of child development, which is the best way to aid in school readiness.

What Others Have to Say.....
Our son spent one year in
the care of Theresa at Little Sprouts. We are thoroughly impressed with the education he received during that year and our only regret is that we didn't enroll him earlier. Little Sprouts is not just a day care, it is an age-appropriate academic setting. As a Kindergarten teacher I am absolutely certain that my son is fully ready for his full day 4K school year. We will recommend Theresa to everyone we can and thank her for the wonderful care and
education she provided to our son.
Thank you, Sara & Aaron

While my daughter was under the care of Theresa, her cognitive, social, and emotional development blossomed. The amazing classroom environment that Theresa provides is one that you will not find in a typical ‘in-home’ child care. The activities that are planned on a daily basis support children’s development and encourage continuous growth.
My family absolutely loved to view the pictures in the parent portal on the website. Among countless other practices, this is just one way that Theresa reaches above and beyond her call of duty. Theresa also strives to provide a safe environment in which all children are highly respected. The collaborative approach that is used at Little Sprouts, supports individual parenting styles, while maintaining consistency of expectations in the classroom. Each and every day, my daughter was excited to go to school and that is something that is priceless. ~Heather
