What families can expect
More than a place to spend the day.
Families looking for child care often need both a welcoming place for their child and a schedule that works. Here is what Sprouts can offer for preschool-age children.
Longer-day options
Preschool runs from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Early drop-off can start at 7 a.m., and extended care can continue until 5:30 p.m., depending on the schedule available.
Everyday support
Meals and snacks are included. Our team can talk through ELRC Child Care Works, ACCM, private pay, and the practical next steps for your family.
The schedule conversation
Tell us the care you actually need.
A two-day preschool schedule and a five-day full-day schedule are different family needs. Start with your child’s age, preferred days, and the times you need care. We will confirm the available fit before you make a plan.
- Children must be at least 3 years old to begin attending.
- Partial-day, full-day, and extended-care options vary by age and available space.
- School-age care begins at kindergarten and continues until a child’s 13th birthday; see the separate school-age program.
Practical questions
Before you ask about a place.
Do you care for children younger than 3?
No. Children can begin attending at age 3. If your child is not yet 3, tell us their age and expected start date so we can discuss future options.
Can my child stay for a full day?
Full-day and extended-care options exist. The available days and exact schedule depend on your child’s age and current space. Ask us to check your preferred hours.
Do you accept child care subsidy?
Yes. Brookline Sprouts works with ELRC Child Care Works and ACCM, along with private-pay families. We can help explain the next step.
What about a child already in kindergarten?
Our school-age program covers before-school, after-school, and summer needs from kindergarten until a child’s 13th birthday.
