“I wholeheartedly recommend Sprouts Preschool! We just enrolled our third child at Sprouts and have loved our experience! The teachers have been devoted to student learning. I have been impressed by their kindness and energy as they teach through play, creative crafts, and build academic concepts. I thank Sprouts (teacher Josie and teacher Vanessa) for making my kids' first school experience so wonderful! They have helped instill a love of learning!

“Our experience at Sprouts Preschool is truly unmatched. The amazing Christian school environment created by all the staff fosters learning, creativity, fun, and a genuine caring community for the kids. The Sprouts staff truly give the kids their all and make hands-on so fun! The curriculum is well-rounded, fosters creativity, and develops skills. We could not have been more pleased with our child’s experience at Sprouts!”
Kaelee Darling
“They care not only about the ‘what’, but also the ‘why’. Sprouts Preschool has worked with us as parents to help our son be successful in this stage of life that is so exciting - and a little scary for kids. They are kind and encouraging and have helped my child becoming enthusiastic about learning!”
Brooklyn Musser
“Sprouts Preschool has been an amazing place for my kids. Every single teacher has been wonderful with our kids. They wake up every school day excited to go! They have learned so much and enjoy all of the fun activties as well. The communication with the teachers along the way has always kept us parents in the loop! My oldest son’s elementary teachers commented on how well Sprouts did at preparing him for kindergarten. ”

Meet the Sprouts Director, Lindsey!
Background: • Lindsey has been a member of Hillspring for many years and is very excited to be a part of the staff at her home church. She grew up in the small town of Benton City and later moved to an even smaller town called Springdale. Her senior year of High School she met her husband and High-School sweetheart Josh.
In 2002 Josh and Lindsey moved back to the Tri-Cities. They have 2 boys Brodie, 18 and Rowdie, 13. In her free time she likes to go to antique shows and be outdoors with her family. Lindsey believes all children learn differently and that’s what she loves about Sprouts. She also loves teaching each child about the love of Jesus Christ.
What I like most about the Sprouts Preschool: This community at Hillspring walks with Christ. I’ve joined a team where we all support each other in doing the Lord’s work. Together we are building a community all in the name of Jesus.
