FAQs
Tuition
Our rates are competitive with other local daycare centers in the Madison & McFarland area. We offer a safe environment, while also offering a highly educational curriculum that is fun and creative, where your child will learn and grow in a multi-age daycare setting. Please email Ali for information about our rates.
Tuition includes: Wholesome meals/snacks - including baby food, most field trips, project/art supplies, any other program supplies, and quality one-on-one attention from a dedicated teacher. The only thing you need to worry about is an extra set of clothes, diapers (if needed), formula, and any medicine - we do try to accommodate special food requests. Leave the rest to us!
We are educated and equipped with the knowledge to teach each age group, and can answer any questions you may have about our philosophy or our mission. Our rates offer flexibility for families that may only need part-time care, or for families that have not-so-consistent schedules. We try to accommodate flexible schedules when we can.
Can I schedule a tour?
Tours are only scheduled when we have active openings. Please see our social media for updates on current openings, or see our News & Events page.
When a tour is scheduled, we will schedule a meeting after hours with the owners, Ali and/or Matt, so you can get a good idea of how the daycare space is set up and how it functions. We can also go over any paperwork or other specific questions you may have.
are you certified and/or LICENSED?
Yes, we are licensed through the Department of Children and Families.
What Forms do I need?
See below for the forms needed before starting at Little Sprouts
What are the ages at little sprouts?
We enroll all ages! Infant - 5 years, school aged children too.
How big is your group?
Both of our locations have a max of 8 children. We never have more than 8 children, and our group fluctuates per day.
Do you do hourly or half days?
No, right now we just do full days. Our minimum is two days a week. Schedules cannot fluctuate from week to week, part-time schedules must be set due to our small group size.
Where are you located?
We have two locations, our East Madison location is located in the neighborhood behind Olbrich Gardens, and our McFarland location is located 5 miles past the downtown McFarland area off highway AB.
What are your hours?
7:30am - 5:15pm, M-F
Do you accept infants?
We do , but it's rare. Due to licensing regulations, children under 2 years is considered an infant, and the more children under 2 we have the less children we can enroll, which greatly impacts our small business. As much as we would like to take more young children, we currently prefer children to be 2, or very close to 2.
