Cooking & Baking Experiences
Learning to cook helps preschoolers develop fine motor skills, follow directions, and build early math and science concepts through measuring and mixing. It also fosters independence, healthy eating habits, and a sense of accomplishment.

Educational Adventures
Going on adventures allows preschoolers to explore new environments, sparking curiosity and a sense of wonder about the world around them. These experiences build confidence, social skills, and real-world knowledge that can’t be gained in a classroom alone.

Lorien has been an amazing teacher to our boys since 2023. She's super patient and kind, and has helped us navigate tough times, like our previous daycare experience. Her curriculum is engaging, and she's incredibly knowledgeable about emotional learning. We feel so lucky to have her in our corner!

Lorien is incredibly kind and understanding. She has worked with our little ones for a few years now and they continue to learn and grow. They are fed, go on trips, take naps, and do arts and crafts and many other things that the kids enjoy, and Lorien keeps us updated with photos throughout the day. We are happy to have Busy Sprouts!

Choosing busy sprouts daycare for our daughter, Gianna , was the best decision we made for her early years. The level of early development learning they provide is truly outstanding. It’s far beyond simple playtime; the educators integrate engaging, age-appropriate lessons that have visibly boosted her cognitive and social skills. She constantly surprises us with new words, concepts, and an enthusiasm for learning we didn't expect to see so early.
As working parents, the flexible scheduling options have been an absolute lifesaver. Whether we needed an adjustment to her routine or simply appreciated the various pickup and drop-off windows, the staff has always been accommodating and understanding of our family's needs. This flexibility, combined with the genuine care and excellent educational foundation, makes busy sprouts feel like an extension of our home. We couldn't recommend them highly enough!
