What children learn does not follow as an automatic result from what is taught, rather it is in large part due to the children’s own doing as a consequence of their activities and our resources.

What makes the Mountain Sprouts community unique….
One family’s thoughts on Mountain Sprouts Academy:
Mountain Sprouts Academy has been a dream come true for our mountain family. From the very beginning, the staff have been exceptional- warm, professional, and genuinely passionate about working with young children.
The facility is thoughtfully designed, with age-appropriate spaces, a wonderful yard, and a wide variety of open- ended activities that inspire creativity and exploration. The location at Copper Mountain is ideal- not only is the daycare conveniently situated within the pedestrian village, but children also have access to enriching mountain experiences like Woodward, ski lessons in the winter, and gondola rides. It’s a safe, engaging environment that encourages discovery both inside and outside the classroom.
As our daughter prepares to start kindergarten at the end of the summer, we are confident that she is socially, emotionally, and academically ready- thanks in large part to her time at Mountain Sprouts. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to send her there for her preschool years.
