Little Sprouts Montessori 2514 South 49 Terrace, Kansas City, KS 66106

"We LOVE Little sprouts! We started our son at age 3 and within 6 months, he was learning things I didn’t imagine he could at his age! The teachers are incredible and they have a passion to teach kids! This is not a daycare, they are an intentional school and community that want to help you and your family as you raise your children! The biggest blessing!!"

"Little Sprouts Montessori is a wonderful school!! The children are surrounded by natural learning materials and a beautiful garden all year long. The teachers involve the students in all practical life areas, from washing dishes to preparing meals. My daughter loves to help make meals now and willingly cleans at home. The Montessori method facilitates such a love of learning, but the teachers there are so active in making sure that each child is on track with their reading and math goals. They really want to make sure that they kiddos are ready for 1st and 2nd grade. My daughter had a hard time reading, but at Little Sprouts she found the joy in it, and now she reads all the time and is helping others! The older children get to help and be be an example for the younger children, so they get such a sense of responsibility. This school has been a joy in our lives. There are periodic potlucks for the families there, and every morning and afternoon other parents are dropping off and picking up - so it truly feels like a family. I know the kiddos are in such great hands with the staff here. They love the children so much and have a passion for their wholesome growth. Spring and summer is a gorgeous time at Little Sprouts. The gardens are absolutely glorious. Imagine going to school in the Garden of Eden everyday! I know this has helped shaped our daughter into a lover of nature and beauty."

"When I first found out about Little Sprouts Montessori I was beyond excited! I knew I had found a gem. It felt like home. I was a teacher at Little Sprouts for about four years and during that time I watched the school continue to evolve and blossom. The environment is not only aesthetically pleasing to the eyes but very nourishing for the soul as well. Between the inside classroom and the outdoor classroom the children were able to receive exactly what they were needing in order to grown and become more whole independent individuals. The outdoor classroom is filled with wonder! Between the garden and the many farm animals that little sprouts has the children are able to be close to nature. They are able to be so interconnected in the process of gardening that I was seeing many children try new healthy foods and even find their love of gardening! In todays world children are becoming more and more disconnected from nature yet nature is what we NEED on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level. I couldn't be more grateful for Little Sprouts Montessori and what it has to offer the children and the parents who become apart of this intimate loving community. I would HIGHLY recommend this school to any parent who is trying to find a preschool for their child."

"I can't say enough about the strong, loving foundation my children received at Little Sprouts. Ms. Natalie has a true gift for introducing little ones to the natural world around them and the wonders of a true Montessori classroom. My children developed a love for learning early on, and it has absolutely carried over into their grade school experience, helping them to become early readers and engaged students. We are beyond grateful for the loving care and the enlightening education they received -- not just the works of the classroom, but learning respect for the wondrous world of nature and being inspired to live as compassionate human beings. I always knew they were in good hands, and always marveled at the peaceful, creative atmosphere there. We wish they could've stayed at Little Sprouts forever!"

"Miss Natalie is one of the warmest and inspiring people I have ever met, and there is a reason so many people trust her with their children. My son was a student at Little Sprouts, and it was a fantastic experience for both of us! The school itself is phenomenal and facilitates children connecting with nature and developing a healthy relationship with their food. The children seed plants in the greenhouse, help transfer them to the raised plant beds, and tend to and harvest the very food that is used in their meals. The time and thought that is put into every aspect of this Montessori school and in the children's learning and growth is evident and apparent. I will always be grateful for the education my son received at Little Sprouts...I cannot recommend LSM and Miss Natalie highly enough."
