Welcome to Little Sprouts Schools

TJ has always had a special place in his heart for children. When he became a parent himself, it was only natural for him to seek out the best education and child care for his three kids. Quality education has always been a vital component of his decision-making when selecting a school. So when he was introduced to the Balanced Learning® Approach, it piqued his interest both as a parent and as a potential owner of a Primrose school. 

Alia has always had a deep love for children. When she became a mother, finding the best education and child care for her three kids became a top priority. Quality education has always played a crucial role in her decision-making when selecting a school. So when she was introduced to the Balanced Learning® Approach, she was immediately drawn to its philosophy—not just as a parent, but also as a potential owner of a Primrose school.
