They bring life and warmth to our spaces. The children of our center teach us every day. The role of the teacher is diverse: the teacher must model positive behavior and empathy towards others the teacher should inspire creativity, imagination, and curiosity the teacher should be patient, loving, and understanding of the children in her care. The teachers at Urban Sprouts create classroom environments that are flexible, friendly, and fulfilling. Every child has unique strengths and it is the role of the caregiver to nurture and develop these strengths. Each caregiver embraces his or her role as facilitator, gatherer, nurturer, and guide. Our caregivers gently guide the children through curricula that help them develop socially, emotionally, physically and cognitively. Children also need opportunities to make choices, set limits, and learn consequences through play. Urban Sprouts is truly a family.Ĭhildren love to play, to laugh, and to dream. Framed photos of our kids and staff decorate every room. Spaces for learning are also spaces of reflection, spaces to build in, to share in, and to dream in. Woven baskets, wood furnishings, and loose parts create a welcoming and exciting environment. Creative crafts and lively artwork cover our walls. We offer colorful, richly-textured and vibrant spaces for children to play and think in. The spaces at Urban Sprouts are designed to feel warm, inviting, and cozy like home. It is our belief that children learn best in an inspiring environment with dedicated caregivers who nurture the imagination. We understand that children need rich and diverse experiences in order to fully and joyfully engage the world around them.
We strive to develop the whole child by providing a warm environment that is both supportive and stimulating.
#Sprout daycare how to
Teachers are trained on how to safely walk their classrooms down to the playground using a "walking-rope".Urban Sprouts believes that the purpose of early childhood education should be to ignite and nurture every childs natural curiosity and interest in the world around her. Our outside area is just a quick walk out of the front door and down a short path. Each classroom will have a designated time slot throughout the day to utilize this room. However, we will also have a large gross motor space separate from the classrooms, which will include large motor manipulatives for utilization.
#Sprout daycare windows
Each classroom is designed with floor to ceiling windows and a large layout providing room for a lot of movement. Our center is designed and licensed to hold 66 children including two Infant classrooms, two Toddler classrooms, a Pre-school room and a Pre-Kindergarten classroom. Enrichment activities will not only be developed by our teachers, but will also be provided other teachers and educators within the community. Our goal at Creative Sprouts is to incorporate a variety of enrichment activities that provide opportunity for our children to learn through interactive experiences such as music/movement, yoga, story telling, physical education and the arts. We have learned that children learn best through discovery and hands on experiences. Our teachers are trained to identify differences, special needs and learning preferences that allow each child to be as successful as they can be.
Creative Sprouts was designed and developed to recognize each child as an individual and alter learning for their specific needs.
