Little Sprouts Early Childhood Program An early childhood program that focuses on literacy, music, movement, and hands-on STEM activities. I believe in STEM and learning through play!

My name is Stina Howie and I have been teaching preschool for a decade! I love getting to know the kids and working with them at their level.

A glimpse into preschool so far! Lots of free play, hands on activities, and so much fun in the gym. We’ve sorted by size, shape, and color, worked on graphing and patterns, and matched numbers 0-6. So much learning happens through play and we love watching their minds work!

I love Wednesdays! The moms visit, kids play, and babies crawl around in the background. Today they each got to pick a song to sing and I read a book about color mixing. We rescued colored shapes from the sand table and worked on balance while sorting bears by color. I love to hear their giggles and watch their minds work. We are learning through play and having so much fun doing it! Come join us next week!

Little Sprouts Wednesday mornings are SO much fun! Children ages 2-6 come with a caregiver: mom, dad, aunt, grandma, babysitter, etc. to play and learn together. You’ll get time to play in the classroom, clean up together, read a book, sing songs, do STEAM based activities, and run around in the gym.

Lessons are adjusted to meet your child’s needs and attention span. We’ll work on colors, shapes, numbers, letters, and so much more! You’re welcome to come every week or randomly when it works in your schedule. I love seeing families come with multiple siblings and your littlest ones are welcome to crawl around the classroom while we learn and play.

We start next week September 9th from 8:45-9:45 and open gym is afterwards from 10-11. Come spend your morning with me at Rise Gymnastics! Message me with any questions. I’d love to help your Little Sprout learn and grow this year!

Open house was a success! We had 44 people come and these supplies will last us a long time. I love seeing parents so invested in their children and their education. We are beyond grateful for the opportunity to teach these little ones and have families who care so much. Here’s to an amazing year!

The floors have been mopped, mirrors washed, and our logo is on the door. We are so excited to see our families at open house tonight! Preschool starts September 8th and the caregiver class starts September 9th. Details for that will be posted soon.

This year our class has grown so much we hired an assistant and expanded our capacity from 8 students to 12. I never imagined we’d be here when I first started this program in 2023 with a few caregiver classes. In 2024 I shifted gears and set up the 3 year old preschool and taught 6 students the first year and 5 the second. Now we have a class of 12!

God put this dream on my heart 7 years ago and He has been faithful through it all. We are ready for year 3 to begin and see what the Lord has in store for us!

Our last week of summer classes! The kids painted ice cream with puffy paint, matched stamps and envelopes by number, had an indoor snowball fight, and rolled dice to see how high they could stack their ice cream cones. We’ve all had a blast this summer! Thank you for trusting me with your kiddos! Stay tuned for info on classes during the school year.

The Pigeon WON’T play with shapes…but we will! My friends sorted picnic foods by shape, experimented with baking soda and vinegar, and practiced adding and taking away ice cubes with a dice game. Add in plenty of play time and free time in the gym. It was a great morning! There’s still time to join us July 7, 14, or 28. Message us today to sign up!

One of my favorite areas of the classroom! It’s been an eye doctor, vet clinic, hot chocolate stand, donut shop, and now a lemonade stand. My kids said it was missing something and added tacos 😅 The kids love engaging with the materials and I love seeing their creativity shine!
