APPROACHES TO LEARNING

Each child learns in different ways. The Tiny Sprouts approach provides teachers with the tools and guidance to accommodate children’s natural curiosity and to fully support each child as they build problem solving skills and self-confidence.

SCIENCE & ENGINEERING

Children are natural scientists! They use their senses to observe and investigate their world. You will find all of our classrooms include a variety of activities to learn and grow throughout the day. We also have a great outdoor space that we enjoy several times a day!

LANGUAGE & LITERACY

The early years are critical for literacy development. From sign language and story time in our younger classrooms, to phonics and eventually reading and writing in preschool classrooms, your child will develop important foundational literacy skills as well as a love of reading that will follow them into the kindergarten classroom (and beyond)!

CREATIVE ARTS

Visual and creative arts stimulate imagination and creative thinking. We embrace getting messy and discovering the world through art. Our Center places a strong emphasis on the beauty provided by the natural world around us. We therefore spend a lot of time outdoors in the natural elements!

SOCIAL STUDIES

We help our children understand themselves and their relationships with family and friends. Your child will learn about how they are similar and different from their peers, and establish an understanding of how they can ALL make positive contributions to society (both individually and collectively).

PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT

Active children become active adults! We will show your child fun ways to practice proper techniques for movement, balance and motor skills with plenty of time to run, jump and play. We have a indoor gym for cold Minnesota winter days as well as a outdoor area that includes a garden and playground.

MATH

Early experiences with math help children develop reasoning skills, inventiveness, and persistence in problem solving. Through hands on learning your child will be introduced to numbers, measurement and patterns.

SOCIAL & EMOTIONAL

Research shows social-emotional intelligence is one of the best predictors of future success. We help your child develop social and emotional skills through learning and play.
