Word from our Sparrow Family
Sparrow’s child-led, play based approach to teaching and learning has inspired me as an educator. I have been able to see early education through an exciting new lens, and grow adapting the Reggio Emilia approach. I am proud to have been given the opportunity as Educational Leader to guide and support our team to flourish in their roles as early childhood educators.

Open ended learning opportunities and strong bonds between children, families and educators. Sparrow Early Learning Jacobs Ridge is a community where we are all equal and treated with respect. Our days are filled with laughter and love!
