One educator and a maximum of four children (a maximum of two under two year olds at any one time) which allows Sprouts children enjoy individual attention as well as a quality programme. This includes fun and active learning experiences at home, and in the community. - Weekly playgroups are provided by Scallywaggs Sprouts and are run by an ECE teacher
At these sessions children enjoy choices. Individual programmes are designed specific to individual children's interests and talents. - Regular excursions and outings
Scallywaggs Sprouts recognises the benefits of stimulating children within the home, as well as utilising resources within the wider community. This provides a wealth of varying experiences and opportunities for socialisation of the children. This in turn builds confidence in forming relationships with others.
Sprouts Educators provide a range of learning experiences and play equipment in homes but also have the flexibility to utilise opportunities in the local community to further extend the children in their care.
