Licensed child care for ages 6 months to 6 years
Where little learners grow big
Play-based days, caring teachers, and a second home your child runs toward every morning.
At Little Sprouts, every day is built around curiosity: messy paint tables, story circles, garden time and plenty of laughter, all guided by certified early childhood educators.
Welcome to Little Sprouts
We are a licensed, play-based child care centre in Toronto for children aged 6 months to 6 years. Every day is planned around curiosity, kindness and a lot of fun, with certified educators who know each child by name.
Our story
A home away from home
Little Sprouts began in 2010 as a single room in a converted community hall, with six children and one very determined teacher. Today we care for over 90 children across five age groups, but the heart of the place has not changed.
We believe children learn best when they are playing, exploring and feeling safe. Our educators plan each week around your child's interests, from sensory bins for babies to science experiments for our kindergarten-bound five-year-olds.

What parents say
Trust is earned one drop-off at a time. Here is what our parents tell us.
-
Our daughter cried at drop-off for a week at her old daycare. Here she now drags us to the door. The teachers send photos all day and know her like family.
