A strong beginning.
And beyond.
What does it take to create a world where every child can grow to become a whole, centered, thinking, caring person?
At SproutFive™, we believe it takes more than just childcare and early learning. It takes a holistic approach.
So, every day, while we give young children the care they need to develop socially, emotionally, cognitively, and physically during those critical first five years of life, behind the scenes we do more. We support the people who support the children. The families. The teachers. The communities. We work relentlessly to become an empowering hub for accessible quality early childhood education.
Creating a world where all children thrive.
The five ways we make holistic learning happen:
Serve-learn™: We co-locate our schools with like-minded nonprofit organizations. The goal is to reduce the barrier for families needing essential services (e.g., job training, nutrition, wellness, social services, etc.).
Live-learn™: We co-locate our schools in housing complexes to reduce the transportation barrier presented to families.
Learn-learn™: We co-locate our schools on education campuses to provide childcare to students and staff in one centralized location.
Work-learn™: We co-locate our schools on employer campuses to offer childcare to employees in one centralized location.
Train-learn™: We offer integrated, hands-on training in the spirit of building a pipeline of future teachers by providing a pathway to a career in early childhood education.
SproutFive, formerly known as South Side Early Learning, has been around since 1922. As we continue the development of this website and our transition from South Side Early Learning to SproutFive, you can learn more about our innovative, holistic approach to early learning on the existing South Side Early Learning website.
