The Little Sprouts Early Learning Center features separate classrooms for each age group, from infancy through preschool. The center uses Creative Curriculum, the curriculum approved by the State of New Jersey and endorsed by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, in all classrooms to help children learn important skills in math, literacy, science, social studies, the arts, and technology. Fully qualified teachers are available in each school room and the child-teacher ratio adheres to or exceeds state standards. Each classroom has new equipment, as well as learning centers for dramatic play, computers, science, housekeeping, sand, and water play, reading, and music. The center also contains an all-purpose room for active indoor play and parent presentations, as well as a sick room for those children who may fall ill during the day. The center is equipped with two separate playgrounds, one for younger tots and one for older children.
Little Sprouts Early Learning Center offers space for 83 youngsters, ages 6 weeks to 6 years. All types of subsidized daycare are accepted, including New Jersey Cares for Kids and Work First New Jersey.
