I truly could not imagine my daughter attending any other daycare in the area! 💕 The teachers are so attentive and genuinely care for each and every child. They provide so many fun activities and learning opportunities, and it’s amazing to see how much the kids learn and grow! My daughter has been at Sprout Academy since she was just 4 months old. She started with Miss Robin, who was absolutely wonderful, and is now in her second year with Miss Stephanie, who we absolutely adore! ❤️ The owners, Miss Tina and Miss Ramona, are amazing as well! I know that every day when I drop my daughter off, she is in the best hands and surrounded by people who truly love and care for her. I will always recommend Sprout Academy to anyone looking for a daycare. We feel incredibly fortunate that we were able to get our daughter into such an amazing place! 🌱💚 Posted on Google Mackenzee Graves 10 July 2026 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could give more stars I would! My son due to be a working mama has been in 2 other daycares prior to this one. All the teachers are sweet and kind. Answer any questions you have. They are attentive and very organized, ensuring safety. The director is very personable and kind. My son is normally shy and takes a while to adjust to changes, everyday I pick him up he tells me how much fun he had! I would recommend this center to any parents! Posted on Google Katelyn Leanza 1 June 2026 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son switched to Sprout midway through the school year, and the difference was incredible. From the moment he started, I noticed how much he was learning and growing. He looked forward to going to school every day and truly loved being there. The teachers are amazing and genuinely care about the children. Mrs. Jerri is incredible and it is obvious how much she loves her job and her students. Mrs. Tina and Mrs. Romana were also wonderful and played such a positive role in my son’s preschool experience. We are so grateful for the love, support, and education he received at Sprout. I highly recommend this preschool to any family looking for a caring and nurturing environment for their child.

If you are lucky enough to get a spot here for your child, please do not pass it up! Our family has moved a lot, so this is the 4th daycare experience for us, and it was the best by far! Our baby got a spot in the infant room and it was a huge blessing. Ms Robin treated our baby like family. She always came home clean and happy. She was always busy doing creative projects, exploring the outdoors, and trying new things. Our baby was behind in her gross motor development, and Sprout fully supported and cooperated with her physical therapy plan, beyond what I would have expected! Sprout does a lot of nice things for parents too and I love all the little gifts we’ve received. So thoughtful! Our older daughter attended Bloom and I regret that she did not get the Sprout experience. Our older daughter was just another kid at Bloom. Our baby was family at Sprout. (Now crying as I finish this) Sprout thank you for everything! I hate that we had to move again, I wish we could’ve stayed. Love and miss you guys! Posted on Google Anthony Dunagan 8 May 2024 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just had our end of the year parent teacher conference for our daughter who’s in VPK. When she first took her assessment in august of last year she scored below average, in the 17th percentile, and her teacher assured us that she’s got this and that our daughter is going to do great over the year. She really meant that because she just took her end of the year assessment and she scored in the 93rd percentile and the grade equivalent of a 1st grader!!! If that’s not a testament to how wonderful this school is, I don’t know what is. We are SO proud of our girl but so incredibly thankful to the amazing staff and teachers at sprout for how much care and work they put into each child to help them reach their full potential. We can’t wait to see what our daughter can do in kindergarten and beyond but whatever great things she accomplishes, we know sprout is the foundation where it all started. Posted on Google John Rand 16 November 2023 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot rate Sprout highly enough. Both our boys love to go to Sprout, and we love to have them there. Each of the staff is truly fantastic and impress us daily. Posted on Google Taylor Young 26 October 2023 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sprout has been amazing! We get so many updates on activities and photos of our baby’s day to day. It’s no wonder they have a huge waitlist.. this place is the real deal :) Posted on Google Rachael Chaisson 24 October 2023 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My 8 month old LOVES SPROUTS!!!!! She is all excited to “go to school” everyday. All of the teachers are extremely loving and kind. They truly care about each and every kid and give them all the attention in the world. Always keeping us updated on what’s going ok throughout the day. We were extremely nervous taking her to daycare due to all of the horror stories you hear. The first week was absolutely amazing and I’m SO PLEASED it’s been the exact same since! I never see any kids angry/upset/crying when they arrive in the mornings with me at drop off and in the afternoons are excited to tell their parents about their day! SO GLAD I FOUND A DAYCARE I FULLY TRUST WITH MY CHILD! 1000/10 would highly recommend. Posted on Google Stacey Collins 19 October 2023 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sprout is absolutely amazing!!! They have taught my daughter so much and she only goes twice a week. I couldn’t be more please with them and how they treat my baby! I highly recommend placing your child on their waitlist! Posted on Google DFEOLA 18 October 2023 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sprout has been caring for both of our children for years now. They are simply AMAZING. The kids love all of their teachers and I honestly feel that they feel the same about them. Highly recommend them! Posted on Google Amanda Boyer 18 October 2023 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We love Sprout and so does our youngest! Our almost 16-month-old has been at Sprout since he was 3 months old and we couldn't be more pleased. Sprout is the absolute best! Our youngest is our fourth child in childcare. Over the years, we have had a fair share of experience with various childcares in the area; so when we say Sprout is the best, we truly mean it. Sprout only employs qualified teachers who strive to have a regular daily routine- adjusting to each individual child's needs as necessary, use fundamental teaching practices, and involve family every step of the way. Sprout provides a safe and nurturing environment and promotes physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development. We have built wonderful relationships with the staff as well as other children and parents. We are so thankful to be a part of the Sprout family and highly recommend their care. Posted on Google Jessica 14 August 2023 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely awesome!
