My daughter absolutely loves this school. She has been attending for almost 1 year. She talks about all of her school friends and the teachers. I enjoy her telling me what she learned for the day or showing me the arts & crafts she made. Her classroom is always clean, stocked with supplies, & a structured learning environment. They serve healthy breakfast, lunch, & snacks! I've known Miss Ali since middle school and she's always been passionate about children and teaching. She is the reason I selected Sprout Academy preschool. As well as her wonderful team of teachers working with her. Thank you

This school is the greatest school I have been to.
As a Foster parent I have seen alot of schools. This place is the cleanest I've seen. The teacher are so attentive to the children. The teachers have even help me with my ethnic daughters hair. The toys are clean and in good condition. If I could give it more stars I would. The director Ally is by far one of the nicest woman you will meet and expects her teacher to act as she would.

There's a lot that can be said about this school! My daughter is in the VPK program and loves it! She had a cold and I loved the fact that Ms. Ali the director gave us a call on behalf of the teacher checking in on her. Ms. Sarai has both the child and the parents best interests at heart.

My daughter Mila has been attending sprout for a year now and my family couldn’t have made a better choice. The staff is friendly and professional and they are prompt in addressing any concerns that may arise. Ms. Ariana is the first teacher my daughter had and she left a lasting impression on her! She is so warm and bubbly and good with the infants. Ms. Trista provides a fun atmosphere to learn in for the 2 yr olds and gives me daily progress reports on my child’s development without me even having to ask. Ms. Sarai is amazing at prepping the vpk kids with the right tools for kindergarten

Amanda Crocker is severely unprofessional and unethical, they took $75 for a registration fee and terminated my son the next day, after only one day of care, claiming he needed to be in a smaller environment. When I picked him up, his face was red and sweaty and he was screaming for water. His diaper was hanging off and I was told he did not have a drink, because I did not bring him a cup, when that was not requested of me to supply, or I would have ensured he had one. This was the absolute worst experience we could have ever had starting daycare for the first time. I ended up having to call the

My son has been going to the PPark location since June 1st! It’s been amazing to see how close knit everyone is. Amanda is amazing and always smiling. Ms. Jessica truly cares about the little ones and they have SOOOOOO much fun. My little boy loves it so much and they are always keeping you posted and doing fun things. I’m a working mom so it’s super important to me that they are being active, participating in art and doing a lot of fun things. It’s clean and his class is perfect. Grateful for all of you and everything you do!

My daughter has been going to this school since she turned one almost 4 years ago. I love this school because of how “family oriented” they are. Faith especially treats all the kids as her own and she deeply loves them with all her heart! I’m so glad I picked this school for my daughter to grow up in! My daughter is bi racial and we have no problems with any kind of racism here at this school! Thank you Faith for all you do for my daughter and the other students as well!

The Sprout Academy-Pinellas Park was highly recommended by friends when making the difficult decision of choosing the right preschool for my daughter and can definitely see why! The teachers and staff are very caring and loving while also providing a clean, safe and growing environment for all the children and families! My daughter has attended since she was 16mos old and quickly adapted to her class and loves her teachers! Thank you! #happymama
