What Makes The Wild Sprouts Different

Most programs teach kids to sit still. We teach them to explore, think, and grow.

  • Forest school adventure – real-world learning, not just worksheets

  • Montessori independence – kids lead, we guide

  • Hands-on play – because kids learn by doing

We don’t just prepare them for school. We prepare them for life.

Explore our range of programs at The Wild Sprouts, each thoughtfully designed to nurture your child’s growth through nature-based learning, structured academics, and play. From early childhood exploration to more focused developmental activities, we offer a variety of options tailored to support your child’s unique journey.

All children must complete an enrollment process before receiving care.

  • Most programs keep kids indoors. We bring learning outside.

    The Wild Sprouts offers full-time and part-time nature-inspired nursery and preschool programs, with early and after-care options that fit your schedule.

    Our approach blends Montessori, Forest School, and Reggio Emilia, giving kids:

    • Outdoor exploration – because real learning happens in the real world

    • Sensory-rich activities – hands-on experiences that build strong minds

    • Structured learning + creative play – the balance kids need to thrive

    Small groups. Big impact. A program designed for your child’s growth and your family’s needs.

  • Life doesn’t always follow a schedule. That’s why we offer flexible drop-in, backup, and emergency care—even during non-traditional hours.

    • Last-minute meeting? We’ve got you.

    • Unexpected event? No problem.

    • Need a helping hand? We’re here.

    Your child gets a safe, nurturing space to play, explore, and feel at home—so you can focus on what you need to do, stress-free.

    Note: We are closed on Saturdays and Friday nights.
