ACA has been like extended family for us. We love all the teachers and never have to worry about the kids while they are in the good care of the staff at ACA. My kids have always come home happy and what could be more important than coming back to see your kids have had a great day. This is the one place which offers a huge amount and variety of field trips from taking the kids to Boston Commons to the Musical theaters in Beverly and farms for petting. I would recommend ACA to all my friends.

She is a kind and gentle with a sensitivity towards children. She's innovative in her approach and comes up with wonderful art and circle ideas for the children. She makes sure there's a good mix of structure and unstructured time and always made sure all the children were well fed and clean. She will work hard to provide your child with love and support, and give your child the best care possible.

From the owner: We have daily schedules and goals. We do circle time, arts and crafts, writing, songs--and we love…read moreplaying outside. As a teacher, integrating education into our days is very important to me, so I'm always working in different learning opportunities. For example, we do science experiments (like getting caterpillars and watching them transform into butterflies!), and I like to incorporate different languages into our lessons and songs to celebrate other cultures. My favorite activity is actually doing puzzles with the children. It's fun, educational, practices hand-eye coordination, and is a great opportunity to be on their level and connect with them. Of course, circle time is also special, when I get to know each one of them personally. I think parents often have the idea that a high-quality child care program has to have a lot of fancy equipment. But the value of the program is really in the educators themselves. I am a professional teacher, and I draw on decades of experience when running my program. There's a lot that goes into teaching and child care that isn't always obvious at first glance, and it definitely isn't as simple as having the latest toys or technology.

I called the director, Kate, and asked if my kids could join the school age group today. Even under such short notice Kate's response was an immediate "sure, bring them in".

It was heartwarming to feel the genuine warmth from the people who knew my kids back when and how happy everyone was to see us. This group of people at Little Sprouts is the best of the best and it is so evident how much they all love their jobs.
