📢📢📢We're gearing up for an incredible new school year and we're growing our team to match!

If you've ever thought "I was made for this kind of work," we'd love to meet you.
✨ We're a great fit for:
Former teachers | Paraeducators | Anyone with a childcare or early childhood background | People who are new to the field but serious about growing in it
At Sprouts, we don't just provide child care — we nurture curiosity, confidence, and community. Our team is tight-knit, our work is meaningful, and we take professional development seriously.

We are so thankful to have such an amazing park in our community! 🌳💚

Our Green Room four-year-old preschoolers love walking over to enjoy some outdoor fun. From climbing and exploring to making memories with friends, it’s always a highlight of our day. We are grateful for the wonderful spaces our community provides for our little learners to play, grow, and thrive! ☀️🛝

We are so excited to spotlight Ms Nikki! One thing you will always catch Ms Nikki doing is trying to get to as many of her students sports as possible! The students absolutely love when she comes to their games!

Ms. Nikki loves this age for one big reason: the spark. That moment when a child’s eyes light up because something finally clicks — it’s her favorite part of the day. She also brings plenty of humor to the classroom. Early on, she taught the kids that cubbies are for belongings — “This isn’t your bedroom!” Now, if
anything falls out, the kids beat her to it. They all know the line, and it still makes her laugh. Her world is filled with stories like Brown Bear, Brown Bear, Where the Wild Things Are, and Dinos
on the Go. And when she needs to recharge, it’s Morning Glory coffee and a little silence.

Ms Nikki is such a big reason our Sprouts students head off to big school ready to take on Kindergarten! Her expectations and routines set her students up for success in the future!

We are so thankful she is part of our Sprouts family! 💚

🐣 What an incredible learning adventure at Sprouts! 🐣

Thanks to the Iowa State Extension and Outreach Embryology Program, our students had the opportunity to experience the amazing journey of incubating and hatching baby chicks right here at Sprouts. The kit provided everything we needed, and the hands-on learning that followed was truly unforgettable.

Our classrooms were filled with wonder as the children observed the eggs, tracked the chicks' development, and celebrated each new hatchling. But if we're being honest, the adults may have been just as excited! 😊 We were surprised by how much our staff learned throughout the process, and every day brought new discoveries for children and teachers alike.

We're so grateful for community resources like this that help bring meaningful learning experiences to life. These partnerships create opportunities for curiosity, exploration, and memories that will stay with our students for years to come.

The chicks spent the week at Sprouts, and now they're in their forever home in the country with Miss Paige and her family. ❤️

Thank you, Iowa State Extension and Outreach, for helping us turn our classroom into a place where learning truly came to life!

Our hearts are full after this morning’s Donuts with Dads! 🍩💙

We loved spending the morning with so many of our favorite guys—and gals!—sharing donuts, smiles, and special memories with our students. Thank you to all the dads, grandpas, and special people who joined us. Seeing our students light up while spending time with you made the morning extra special.

As we celebrate Father’s Day this weekend, we’d like to wish a very Happy Father’s Day to all the dads and father figures who love, support, encourage, and show up for our children each and every day. The impact you make is bigger than you know, and we’re so grateful for you. 💙

Thank you for helping make today such a sweet and memorable morning!

Miss Jan has been with Sprouts since just after we first opened our doors and has been sharing her love with students and families for the past four years. Her dedication and steady presence have helped shape the nurturing environment that makes Sprouts feel like home.

Miss Jan brings warmth, patience, and a calming presence to the classroom each day. She has a natural way of connecting with children and helping them feel safe, valued, and ready to learn.

We are incredibly grateful for the love, consistency, and care Miss Jan has given to our Sprouts families over the years. Thank you, Miss Jan, for being such an important part of our community! 💚

A few fun facts about Miss Jan:
~What she loves most is being a part of helping them explore new things around them.
~What makes her laugh is the faces they make trying new foods
~Her favorite books to read is The Very Hungry Caterpillar
~Her favorite way to relax is taking a walk whether it be inside or outside.
~Miss Jan says I feel blessed to be apart of each day with your little ones. I continue to smile at all things they are learning.
