SproutFive to Close Its Doors After More Than 100 Years of Service

After more than a century of dedicated service to early childhood education through the legacy of South Side Learning and Development Center, SproutFive announced that it has ceased operations. The unprecedented challenges of the past years, including the ongoing impacts of COVID-19 and changes in community needs, necessitated this difficult decision.

However, there is a hopeful path forward thanks to our historic partnerships with other like minded community service organizations. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve and support so many children and families in Central Ohio for so many years. We are proud of our legacy of innovation, care and engagement and know that the positive impact of our teachers, staff and approach will live on for years to come.
