Our Story

Helping Cincinnati children bloom

Sprout Discovery Center was created around a simple belief: every child deserves a place where loving care and meaningful learning grow together. Our name reflects what we want for every child who walks through our doors. We want children to feel rooted in secure relationships and encouraged as they discover what they can do.

A fresh vision for child care

Sprout brings a renewed approach to two Cincinnati child care locations in Mt. Washington and Milford. Our work is focused on creating classrooms that feel warm and purposeful. Children are cared for as individuals, and teachers guide their learning through hands-on experiences.

Designed around families

Quality child care also needs to work in the context of family life. Our meal program makes daily routines easier. Before- and after-school transportation supports families with school-age children, while Child Care Choice Voucher acceptance helps more families access care.

The meaning behind Where Children Bloom


Children bloom when they feel known and have opportunities to grow at a pace that is right for them. For one child, that may mean feeling comfortable enough to join the group. For another, it may mean completing a task independently for the first time. We are honored to be part of those moments.
