About Sprouts

Play-based Learning

Research tells us that preschool children learn best through play. At Sprouts, students gain cognitive skills by investigating their interests with hands-on activities.

Preschoolers need to move and do

Our classroom is organized into learning centers. Students freely use play materials specifically chosen for exposure to math, science, and literacy.  Our day also involves group gatherings where we discuss new ideas, learn through games, and experience teamwork.

When school is a fun experience, children love learning

Children are natural learners, often driven by their own curiosity. We provide them with engaging, developmentally appropriate activities and they learn firsthand that school is a great place to be!

Whole Child Teaching

Preschoolers gain confidence in their ability to problem solve, care for themselves, face challenges, and be a friend.

Teaching all developmental domains

Students are taught holistically across the 4 developmental domains of the Montana Early Learning Standards: emotional and social, physical, communication, and cognition.

Rich experiences in an intimate classroom

Sprouts offers a home-based classroom and small class size. This intimacy allows us to understand your child as an individual and build relationships that support healthy development.

Meet the teacher

Hi, my name is Ashley. I am the owner and lead teacher at Sprouts and mom to four.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in business, a Child Development Associate credential, and the Montana Preschool Teacher certificate.  Each year I complete a minimum of 20 hours of continued training in the field of early childhood development.

I have worked to meet quality standards above and beyond state licensing. As a result, Sprouts is the highest rated Stars to Quality program in Polson.

My goal is for each child to experience the joy of school, grow at their own pace, and feel proud of their hard work in doing so.

what parents are saying...

I have been amazed at how much my son has learned over the last 2 years at Sprouts Preschool.  Ashley does a great job at keeping things fresh and exciting, while also keeping basic structure consistent.  I feel this has helped foster a love for learning, creativity, self confidence, and independence.  I definitely think Sprouts has prepared him well for kindergarten next year!

Sprouts was an excellent choice for our family. My girls loved the environment and I felt like they were beyond prepared for Kindergarten! They came out knowing their letters, numbers, and good social skills. The foundations and friendships that were built at Sprouts are something that we will forever be thankful for.

We have loved being a part of Sprouts preschool.  Ashley makes learning a fun and playful experience for her students, finding creative ways to explore learning by creating an engaging environment. The Sprouts program has taught our son emotional and social intelligence, and we've seen him grow leaps and bounds academically...
