The parent community is strong and the school truly makes an effort to bring families together. Since it is a Co-op, you are expected to be in your child's classroom at least once a month if you can. This gives parents an unusual opportunity to observe their child in a new environment and see them really enjoying themselves! Smiles are all around at CCP.

She is a kind and gentle with a sensitivity towards children. She's innovative in her approach and comes up with wonderful art and circle ideas for the children. She makes sure there's a good mix of structure and unstructured time and always made sure all the children were well fed and clean. She will work hard to provide your child with love and support, and give your child the best care possible.

As a teacher, integrating education into our days is very important to me, so I'm always working in different learning opportunities. For example, we do science experiments (like getting caterpillars and watching them transform into butterflies!), and I like to incorporate different languages into our lessons and songs to celebrate other cultures. My favorite activity is actually doing puzzles with the children. It's fun, educational, practices hand-eye coordination, and is a great opportunity to be on their level and connect with them. Of course, circle time is also special, when I get to know each one of them personally. I think parents often have the idea that a high-quality child care program has to have a lot of fancy equipment. But the value of the program is really in the educators themselves. I am a professional teacher, and I draw on decades of experience when running my program. There's a lot that goes into teaching and child care that isn't always obvious at first glance, and it definitely isn't as simple as having the latest toys or technology.

I was impressed with the staff and with how much fun the children in the center seemed to be having and how much my son enjoyed our visits. The children complete fun curriculum themes, play outdoors twice daily, have a great circle time routine, and many fun projects, parties, and they even went on an apple picking field trip in the fall! Finally, the price and flexibility in scheduling hours is fantastic. At my son's previous center I had to submit a written request for any extra hours and then pay an additional hourly rate on top of his tuition, *if* the extra time was approved. Little Learners is far more accommodating, only requiring verbal permission and no extra fee.

Her warm demeanor immediately put us at ease, explained how Little Sprouts day care/preschool works, which curriculum is followed, example of the day, and what expectations are from us as well as them. We went into a variety of classrooms as well as my grandsons future room, which was excellent to see how the teachers and children all are. We've been going ever since. Between the all of the staffs great communication, caring and understanding of our individual needs, we couldn't be happier. They keep us up to date on happenings in the classroom and my grandsons progression. The growth I've seen in him has been amazing. He comes home and we talk about the activities he's done as well as his new friends. So...I basically highly recommend Little Sprouts in North Andover.

With this information our teachers thoughtfully plan daily curriculum based on the strengths and struggles of children in their specific classroom. Our assessment process also includes collecting samples of each child's work throughout the year for individual portfolios. Portfolios document what we know about young children and how they learn.
