Former Project Self-Sufficiency Board
member Deb Albrecht recently visited the Little Sprouts Early Learning Center to
read several books to the children as part of the school’s Celebrity Reader
program. The Little Sprouts Early
Learning Center is operated by Project Self-Sufficiency, a local non-profit
agency which offers a wide variety of services to families in northwestern New
Jersey. “It was such fun reading to the
children at Little Sprouts. They are delightful! It is wonderful to see
children so excited by books and reading,” noted Albrecht.
Little Sprouts Early Learning
Center features separate classrooms for each age group, from infancy through
preschool. Fully-qualified teachers are
available in each school room and the child-teacher ratio adheres to or exceeds
state standards. Each classroom has new
equipment, as well as learning centers for dramatic play, computers, science,
housekeeping, sand and water play, reading, and music. The center also contains an all-purpose room
for active indoor play and parent presentations, as well as a sick room for
those children who may fall ill during the day.
The center is equipped with two separate playgrounds, one for younger
tots and one for older children.
Little Sprouts Early Learning Center offers space for 83 youngsters, ages
6 weeks to 6 years. Free preschool is
available for Newton residents ages 3 – 4; students must have turned 3 years
old by October 1, 2018. All types of subsidized daycare are accepted,
including New Jersey Cares for Kids and Work First New Jersey. The center also offers the National School
Lunch Program, providing nutritionally-balanced, low-cost or free lunches to
eligible children each school day. The
Little Sprouts Early Learning Center is located at 127 Mill Street in
Newton. For more information visit the
center’s website, www.littlesproutsearlylearningcenter.org or call 973-940-3540.
