Little Sprouts Academy - Preschool

Day Care

Little Sprouts Academy was founded by Elena and Grayson Barbour in 2009 as an in-home daycare near San Diego State University. Elena and Grayson are very passionate about giving children an early start toward the love of learning and health. As part of this philosophy, they incorporate Reggio inspired learning experiences and organic and natural foods into the curriculum. Additionally, they use natural and green cleaning products. Parents loved Elena and Grayson’s approach to learning for their children and the number of applicants quickly outgrew their capacity. To meet this need, on January 22nd, 2013 the doors opened at the much larger Mission Valley location.

The Little Sprouts Academy’s mission is to provide a unique and enriching preschool experience through quality care, organic and healthy foods, and attention to detail. Here at Little Sprouts we want to change the perception of what “daycare” should be and to far exceed the expectations of parents. We believe that your child deserves the best care and attention and we want their earliest memories to be filled with happy and enriching experiences. Read more

    Little Sprouts has been amazing for my two little ones! Our oldest was in a different program that served food that was high in sugar and she was often bouncing off the walls when we would pick her up from school. Her previous school also gave giant packets of homework we would have to do every week! I am sure you can imagine my excitement when I received a phone call notifying me of an opening with Little Sprouts Academy :) ...

    My daughter has been a part of this community for over year and I couldn't be happier. At both Adams Avenue and especially the Mission Gorge location, her teachers have taken such great care of her and I have felt nothing but ease in leaving her every day in their caring hands. Special shout out to Miss Kelly, she is the best!

    My daughter has been going to Little Sprouts for almost two years. She started at Adams Ave and has been at Mission Gorge for over a year now. She is soon to be full time there and I couldn't be happier. We love all of the teachers at LS. My daughter is usually attached to me at all times and it takes her some time to warm up to people. The teachers here have been SO good with making her comfortable. I feel happy and at ease knowing my daughter is safe, happy, learning, and loved. :)
