About Us

At Our Precious Sprouts, we’re dedicated to delivering a high-quality, transformative educational experience for at-risk children. We use a culturally diverse and socially just educational model to improve academic outcomes in the Capital Region. Our humanities and culture-based programs address the need for nontraditional learning opportunities, emphasizing early childhood development to foster health, growth, and long-term self-sufficiency. We collaborate with educators, parents, and the community to create a supportive environment that integrates creative, culturally diverse programs and resources to enhance education and community engagement.
