Little Sprouts Academy Preschool

So glad this preschool moved into Poway! Got a chance to take a tour and was thoroughly impressed by the staff’s professionalism and attention to detail. I need peace of mind when it comes to who is taking care of my son and what they are teaching him. Those aren’t concerns of mine here. Top 1 or top 2 preschool in Poway.

AMAAAAAAAAZING place for child development! EVERYTHING about this place is top tier! Its always so clean, large play area, and the variety of food they serve the children is always so healthy. The staff is FABULOUS. Friendly, Loving, Encouraging, Smart and VERY well trained. This isn't a daycare, its TRUELY a place children can grow to be the BEST they can be. Every day i drop off my son with confidence he's safe and prospering.

I wish I could give the entire team at Little Sprouts Poway 10 stars. My daughter was 18 months when she started there and I was SO nervous because she had never been at a daycare. The director, Michaela, was super comforting and made me feel so much better right from the start. Her main teacher Ms Nichelle is so caring, funny, attentive, and loving. To be honest all of the teachers and assistants are just stellar. The first few days she cried and they updated me every day on her progress and always took the time to talk to me about her day and how it went. My daughter is now waving goodbye with a smile when I drop her off and showing new skills at home. I feel so good knowing she is learning something new everyday and I can trust everyone at the centre.

Just toured Little Sprouts, what a beautiful school! The director was very friendly and knowledgeable too :)

Be careful about settling fast for this school..Little Sprouts is a great daycare program ONLY!!! If you need for someone to care, babysit your child, babysit and watch them play, feel free , guest and you can definitely put your child here. But.... If you want your kids to learn for future and be able to be ready for pre-k and kindergarten, please please !!!!!! DO NOT !!!! put your child here. School has no phones for emergency in any classrooms especially in back room that have windows which take few seconds for danger to happen. Please ask lots of questions (about the emergency dangers situations if someone breaks in back window, doors) about school, especially curriculum ...if you want your kids to get education...what kind of education they will get. Really ask Q??? Don’t just look at positives...(if emergency happens outdoors) They told me they wait for kids to show interest in wanting to learn , they don’t teach...They don’t have set goals and plans on teaching part on everyday basis. So I have seen kids just play. They do not teach on curriculum and to get your children ready for reading and writing for kindergarten...I was hoping it was that kind of school but i was wrong. They do not learn to read and write their abc’s, learning how to spell cat ,dog , learning their abc’s how to hold a pencil, i was there and do not see teachers working with them showing them how to hold a pencil or crayon correctly. They do not have any school items anywhere in class like abc board...a classroom setting...They just watch them ...I have visited different times of day and all I have seen is playing outside, painting, playing with toys and playdoe ...getting wet in summer and getting dirty in their clothes everyday... nothing pertains to school learning as much...and lots of food listed on site that they give for snack or lunch is not given. I have seen for 6 months... same repeated food given rotated every month. Sandwiches of sorts or veggies not given for what is needed for their bodies. I have taken my kids out to another school where they can actually learn and use brains and hands to get ready for reading and writing by age 5. I’m sooo happy I did not waste my money $$$$ and in time got out of Little Sprouts poway.
