Little Sprouts, LLC

Thank you to all the families, educators, and support staff who continue to help our youngest children thrive. We are thankful for each and every one of you; your dedication, your decision to answer your calling, and your nurturing spirit are ensuring the prosperity of the next generation.

Little Sprouts Andover recently welcomed visitors from our parents and community as part of our "Community Helpers" theme! A police chief, firefighters, nurses, the Merrimack College hockey coach, a hip hop dancer and more all showed us the many ways we can explore our interest, passions, and talents to support our community. Thank you to all of our parents who volunteered their time to come and talk us! ????♂???????????

Happy #WorldChildrensDay, a day devoted to promoting international togetherness, awareness among children worldwide, and improving children's welfare! We are especially proud of our place in the Babilou Family global network today, and our work alongside our international colleagues to advocate for the field of early education. We couldn't be more excited for their timely release of the "Sustainable Education" book, too - check it out below! This collection of best practices - from experts and organizations in the field across the 10 countries that comprise the Babilou Family network - aims to support the continued evolution of early education in the modern era. #SustainableEducation #PedagogyForTomorrow

Our outstanding Facilities Team recently finished an ambitious refresh project at Little Sprouts Haverhill ???????♀? One large classroom has now become to beautiful, separate toddler spaces. Each classroom has access to a shared bathroom. The project included new flooring, updated lighting, plumbing, custom cabinets, and countertops. In addition, we repainted the classrooms and purchased new age-appropriate furniture. We can't wait to welcome new friends to the space! ????

Our position within Babilou Family allows us to leverage powerful relationships with some of the most talented advocates of the early education sector, like Sridevi Raghavan. We’re proud that her passion, experience, and leadership continue to be recognized and utilized around the world. Congratulations, Sridevi!

We are thrilled to welcome Christie Pinheiro, our new Chief Operating Officer, to Little Sprouts! Christie brings with her a wealth of experience and dedication to the field of early childhood education, with a career spanning over 25 years. Her professional trajectory has been driven by a deep commitment to fostering environments where children can thrive, learn, and develop a lifelong love of discovery. Her experience has provided her the opportunity to work alongside talented educators, administrators, and families to create programs that prioritize quality, innovation, and meaningful impact - and she is excited to bring that same passion and dedication to Little Sprouts. Christie is eager to collaborate with our team in order to enhance operational excellence, support professional growth for our educators, and ensure our programs remain among the most trusted and enriching for young children and their families. Beyond Christie’s professional role, she is a proud wife and mother of two wonderful daughters, Mia and Mona, who inspire her daily. Being a mom has reinforced her belief in the critical importance of high-quality early education and the positive, lasting impact it has on children’s lives. "After accumulating a wide array of experience in the field of early education, I’m thrilled my journey has brought me to Little Sprouts. I believe that when we invest in early education and prioritize strong partnerships with families, we create the foundation for bright futures for children, as well as a supportive, dynamic workplace for our educators. I look forward to meeting and collaborating with this dynamic, passionate team!" - Christie

Congratulations to all of our employees who celebrated a hire-anniversary in October! ??

Many might associate science, technology, engineering, and math skills with elementary school and beyond - but we believe early exposure to these concepts is essential to building a foundational approach to education.
