What Makes The Wild Sprouts Different

Most programs teach kids to sit still.
We teach them to explore, think, and grow.

  • Real-world learning – inspired by Reggio Emilia, where every child’s curiosity shapes the journey

  • Montessori independence – children lead, we gently guide

  • Hands-on play – because children learn best by doing, creating, and discovering

  • Spanish integration – introduced naturally through stories, music, and conversation
