At SproutFive, we believe every child deserves a holistic, high-quality early education. Our goal is to ensure that all children are given the opportunity to thrive during their first five years of life. With a century of history and a startup mindset, SproutFive is looking to position itself as a national leader and reimagine the field of early learning. Our model is to co-locate early education and child care within nonprofit hubs, education institutions, affordable housing complexes, and employers to reduce barriers for families. In doing so, we see early education as the first and most effective mechanism for community development. While from the outside our work appears to be a collection of classrooms across the city of Columbus, behind the scenes is a team working at the forefront of a movement to ensure children have access to holistic learning experiences they need to develop socially, emotionally, cognitively, and physically during those critical first five years of life. Our work goes beyond “just child care,” as we work to support the people who support the children. The families. The teachers. The communities. Because, as they say, “it takes a village.” And we’re here to empower that village. To ensure the very best starts for our children.
