Little Sparks opened in 2011 with 14 children and a single sunny room. Fifteen years on, the garden's bigger, the classrooms are full, and the promise hasn't changed: every child learns best when they feel safe, seen, and free to be curious.
We follow a play-based curriculum built around three ideas: children learn through doing, through stories, and through each other. Structured lessons are short; open-ended play, building, and outdoor exploration take up the rest of the day.
Every teacher is trained in early-childhood education, and every classroom has two adults, so no child ever goes unnoticed.
