Our foundation is family, with everything that goes with it: caring and responsible adults, cheerful playmates, and an inviting house full of fun and vibrant experiences. There is time for play, for dance, for gardening, for preparing the meal, and of course for learning, and we know that it is the spirit in which things are done that make the activities truly worthwhile.
At our school your child will find a safe and well ordered environment where children learn and play happily together in true companionship; find a comfortable nest with their second family that makes for a small image of what the whole world can be.

With the birth of our second child in 2015, my husband and I began looking for ways to bring our work and family life closer together. We both worked with children, so it just made sense that we welcome the community into our home and teach our own children along with everyone else's. We created The Sprout House in 2016 to be a unique offering that emphasizes our family approach.
We start by embracing the natural curiosity each child has for the world with the understanding that their motivation finds its own rhythmic ebb and flow. We believe learning comes naturally when enjoyment is the goal, so we make sure to bring flexibility and freedom with us to the classroom each day.
Our preschool program starts each day, Monday through Friday, at 8:30am and ends at 3:30pm. Additional child care is available for those that need it between the hours of 7:00am and 5:30pm, and is billed at a rate of $5/hour. Please ask for our current extended hours availability.
While each child is expected to have breakfast at home and bring their very best energy to the preschool each day, the preschool is happy to provide free AM & PM snacks, as well as lunch, through our membership in the Child Nutrition Program of Southern California.

I am crying as I type this because we are moving out of state and my daughter just had her last day at the Sprout House. There are not enough superlatives to describe our experience with this wonderful service place.
After two years in the care of Laura and Adam, my daughter has matured beyond our wildest dreams. Every week she brings home a new fun project from a snow man painted wooden plank measured to her exact height, to a 3D recreation of Van Gogh's sunflowers using real sunflower seeds, to a months long series called Children of the World where they study different countries cultures

My son was 3.5 when I first took him to Sprout House. I delayed in sending him to any school because we had previously had bad experiences with another preschool in the area. When it comes to Sprout House, you cannot find more loving and caring individuals. My son, who cries when I leave him alone at home with his long-term nanny, does not cry at drop off. He is so happy after going and it is obvious his vocabulary and communication skills are MUCH improved. The way he expresses himself and the questions he asks are so much more advanced than before Sprout House. They are a true educational asset

Our son has been at the Sprout House for nearly 3 years and we look forward to enrolling our 16-month-old daughter later this year. Our family is so thankful to be a part of the Sprout House community and look forward to many more years to come.
Laura and Adam have transformed their home into a warm, educational, structured and fun place for children to learn and families to feel safe and comfortable. Their house is clean, policies are fair, educational style is awesome, prices are competitive, communication is timely and operations are professional. We couldn't ask for more.

Our son has attended the Sprout House for the past 2.5 years and our family couldn't be happier with the experience. He loves going to school every day and has made many friends and learned a ton along the way. It was obvious from the first time we toured that all of the children were (and still are) very happy and polite - a testament to Laura and Adam's style of teaching and care. Laura and Adam are not only fantastic with the kids but have always been great with my wife and I and have always been extremely accommodating to our changing schedules. They even offer reimbursement for

During the Covid-19 pandemic daycares were only allowed to stay open so that they could care for essential workers, like nurses on the front lines fighting the virus. The sprout house however, stayed open for all the kids and continued to collect full tuition from all of them. The responsible parents who kept their kids home were given no refunds to the tuition they had paid.
I'm a registered nurse at Kaiser. When Adam and Laura found out that I was taking care of covid patients, they asked me to keep my son home for a whole month and they asked me to pay the full tuition to keep his spot

I had written a very positive review of the child care provided at The Sprout House a little over a year ago, but now with a heavy heart, I must update my experience. Our son was under the care of Adam and Laura (owner's of The Sprout House) for almost 2.5 years. We were pretty happy with the care there, Adam and Laura seemed to be very patient with the kids overall and gave us a sense of community - not business - during our tenure there.

Adam and Laura are extremely communicative regarding scheduling, any new developments with the child, and any questions or concerns a parent may have. I love Sprout House because there is structure and routine to their day- they focus on a specific letter, theme, art project for a week or two at a time. Whenever I drop off or pickup my son, I recognize amazing sensitivity to the children's feelings; Laura and Adam are great at modeling empathy and patience. His language skills have exploded since we started at the Sprout House about 5 months ago. I wholeheartedly endorse the Sprout House!

My 3 yo daughter has been at The Sprout House for 9 months and she loves it! There has not been a single day that she was hesitant to go to daycare and I can tell how much she's learned and grown during this time. She's always singing a new song, noticing a new letter on signs, or telling me about what fun she's had with her friends. It's such a relief to be able to feel comfortable and at ease when being away from your little one all day.

Childless-me had visions of what a "tiger mom" I was going to be, and how I would never coddle my kid or feel bad when life got hard.
Then suddenly I'm a real life adult, with a three year old who cries and clings to me at preschool drop off, and comes home catatonic and not wanting to talk - and I reconsider what coddling actually means.
My husband and I had our daughter at a very well-rated Montessori school for a month and something just always seemed off. She wasn't her usual happy self, and she dreaded going. Then, she got jumped on by the dog at school and came home

We had a wonderful experience with The Sprout House. Our son spent 6 wonderful months with Adam and Laura. Every morning, our son (18 month old at that time) was super enthusiastic about seeing Adam and playing with his buddies. We are a French couple and Adam made sure that Gabriel was transitioning well to a full English environment. Our son is now at the San Diego French-American School but we miss sending our little Gabriel at The Sprout House. We would definitely recommend Adam and Laura's professionalism and kindness to any parents looking for a top notch's daycare in Clairemont

What an amazing daycare this is! Our two year old son loves coming here and actually asks to go, even on the weekends! Ever since he has been here, we can notice a significant rise in his confidence levels and willingness to try new things. He's more of sensitive child. An observer before he leaps into action. Although this is a good thing, he was not really trying anything new, out of fear, I presume. But now...he loves new experiences and the wonders of the world. The first 3 years are so important as far as development is concerned, this is why we are SOOO happy that we have him enrolled
