Welcome to Sprout & Learn Learning Center

About Us

Sprout & Learn Learning Center is an innovative educational center located in Newark, New Jersey, providing a nurturing environment for children to grow, learn, and thrive. Our programs are designed to the educational developmental needs of infants (birth-1), toddlers (2-3), and preschoolers (4-5), offering a play-based learning approach that fosters curiosity, exploration, critical thinking and independence in each child.

At Sprout & Learn Learning Center we are here to help grow and develop children in our society. Our center is based on model that provides children in our community a program where children still can meet their social, emotional, and nutrient needs and still have the right to reach their full educational potential. This center encourages and supports families in multiple ways to be a vital part in their child's growth. This model was created in 1965 and co-founded by psychologist Urie Bronfrenner where his theories of ecological systems support the growth development in our children and the importance of society. His theory is thought to provide a holistic approach that includes children and families(Guy-Evans,2024). Our program supports the belief that children learn best through play-based learning, exploration, social interaction and community involvement. Our goal is to create a community of lifelong learners by providing engaging activities that support holistic development.

We as educators are passionate about partnering with parents to ensure each child receives all the nutrients needed to learn, not only here but throughout life. With a focus on individual needs and a belief in the potential of every child, we strive to create a stimulating environment where children can thrive.

"There is no more critical indicator of the future of a society than the character, competence, and integrity of its youth"

-Urie Bronfrenbrenner (1996)

Curriculum

At Sprout & Learn Learning Center we help parents grow their child development through our integral approach to early childhood education. The Creative Curriculum provides children to have social emotional competencies, teacher/family interactions, constructive play, and positive interactions. With this Curriculum our children can learn at their own pace, and encourage them to become self- confident and independent. This Curriculum focuses on the constructivist approach researched by psychologist Jean Piaget (1896-1980) that provides an opportunity for children to learn through hands-on experiences, discovery, and critical thinking.  

 We have honed our approach to education, incorporating the latest research theories and best practices to provide children with a solid foundation for future success. The history of this program is committed to excellence to children in our society and our passion for helping every child reach their full potential.

The Learning Pot

Circle Time

Circle Time is our most important time for growth. It provides structure to the start of our day as we discuss our daily routine and activities and promotes community and social interaction.

 

The Learning Center

The Learning Center supports the child's educational abilities. The learning center is  filled with many fun interactive activities developing their numeracy and alphabetical skills in a supportive environment.

 

Discovery Station

The Discovery station focuses on many hands-on activities and materials. Children are introduced to science and math materials encouraging exploration and curiosity in their minds.  

 

Play Areas

Play areas are designed areas for your children to engage in cooperative play. While engaging in the play areas it stimulates their children's minds of problem-solving skills and critical thinking. 

 

Lunch Station

Lunch stations are provided for children to eat nutrients and healthy foods.

Outdoor Play focuses on the child gross-motor skills. Children will participate in many games and activities that develop their coordination aside from having fun with friends.

 

 

 

Our Classroom

Our classroom setup is organized  and structured with space throughout each center. Space is very important when it comes to our classroom here at the center, for example our discovery station will be away from our lunch Station maintaining a healthy clean environment. The shelves that we use are made of hard sturdy wood where the height is accessible for children to reach and low enough for teachers to view the classroom. In the classroom our shelves and tables are labeled with materials so that children may practice responsibility for clean up time.  Here at the Sprout center we want to make sure we maintain a healthy, safe and secure environment for children to want to learn everyday.

We encourage our parents to come learn with us during our fun filled day of learning and activities. Your child would love for you to engage in their growth and so will you. We have special days that we ask parents to participate in such as career day, read across America; a parent comes in and reads during circle time, nature walks during our discovery and outdoor-play. We also encourage parents to try to implement some of our learning activities at home. Parents can do the following:

Reading a book 

Singing songs

Coloring

Finger-painting
