I was looking for a 2 year old program andI have found through past experience (with my older child) that the best way to determine how good a fit the school will be is to observe the classroom (the teacher, assistant, their interactions with the children, the activities, etc). I had observed 9 preschools before finding Little Sprouts by the Sea Preschool! I was shocked to see all that was lacking. What was being offered was either "playgroups" (majority of time was free play), including little to no structure/circle time (saying the children need to learn social skills, with which I agree, but certainly not for the majority of the time), too much structure/circle time (where children had to sit patiently waiting while each 1 individually washed their hands until their turn was up for snack time), or worst of all, either the teacher or assistant was moody & lacked any enthusiasm/ happiness to be around the children (I wondered why anyone would choose this profession if they didn't absolutely love children!). I was beginning to give up hope. Then, finally, I was so relieved and thankful when I came upon Little Sprouts by the Sea Preschool! The 2 year old instructor, Ms Amy, has a degree in Special Ed. She completely understands how to effectively communicate with children to get their undivided attention, and knows how to get creative with her education. She also has a music background, & incorporates music in her lessons, getting the children to learn by having fun wit
