Little Sprouts @ Lowell Collaborative Preschool Academy

Morgan loves both his teachers Miss Jenna and Miss Isabel! Talks about all the activities the teachers help the kids do whenever he's in school. They're just wonderful and as a parent I feel my child is safe and in the right place. The teachers have worked with my son to help him improve with his skills and can't thank them enough. To the rest of the staff thank you for being there whenever we need your help. We've never regretted starting our kids' schooling with Little Sprouts.

You will not find a better daycare!! My daughter made so much progress developmentally in less than two months. They keep them busy with all sorts of fun activities. My daughter is two and a half and is usually so attached to me but she loves it so much here she doesn't want to leave when I pick her up! The staff is highly experienced and are so caring and nice. You will love bringing your child there and you will know they are safe and very well taken care of. We Love little sprouts lowell!!!

The school set up is very nice and they have all the space and equiptment that is needed for a positive learning environment, they have some great and dedicated teachers but this is not consistent. Things that have been disappointing is that there is poor communication between different classrooms. Your child might get dropped off in one room that is not their main room or be in a different room at the end of the day, but there is little to no communication with these transitions, when walking into the school in the morning, often I will see teachers sitting with children while on their cell phones, and they have tablets that they mostly play music on but on multiple occasions they will have screen time with the children of a cartoon. The teachers I think are also undereducated in childhood education, they have opportunities for education but are not required to complete it. Some of their communication techniques and strategies to help the children with behavior and other things are not developmentally appropriate, for example forcing a 4 year old skill on a 2 year old or every time a child does something that needs correcting, giving a hug when they get upset oppose to explaining to them why they needed correction, now my child asks for a hug every time I stop them and offer redirection when he use to respond more positively but begs for a hug instead which is a big change in behavior and I have seen his implemented in the classroom. Overall it is a safe and friendly environment and my child has fun. I think the price is more than the value however.

My daughter loved her teacher Ms.Julie everything was alright up until a male that dressed up like a women or womanly took my daughter to the restroom when she was preschooler. It’s sad and disappointing to know that this facility allows any staff member to bring a child to the bathroom regardless of their sex that’s only teaching our kids to allow anyone to see them and their private areas which never sat well with me not even a year later still bothers me to only find out to teacher/staff member doesn’t work there anymore. The director of this daycare made it very clear staff take turns bringing the kids to the bathroom so parent BE WARE !!! My daughter had an accident in the middle of trying to use the toilet instead of this male teacher calling another female teacher to assist he took it upon himself to enter the bathroom and bring my daughter an extra pair of underwear smh it’s unreal

My son Elijah started going to Little Sprouts in September, he loves his teacher Julie. He has been to other daycare where he doesn't even want to go back or its always a struggle to go in, but with this daycare; he will talk about it to everyone and always has nice things to say about his teacher Julie. I am glad we found this place, because when I am at ease when I am at work and that's a blessing.
