Mission Statement and Philosophies

 

At Little Sprouts of Roanoke, our mission is to provide your preschool aged child(ren) with a thoughtfully curated, loving environment where they can learn and play while continuing to grow their relationship with nature and our community. We incorporate various elements of Montessori and Reggio-Emelia philosophies but also believe in the necessary fluidity of teaching and caring for children on an individual basis. We believe that the best childcare is identifying each individual child’s strengths and weaknesses and curating a program of learning for the child. We have no religious affiliation and do not incorporate any religious philosophies or practices in our childcare program.

Little Sprouts of Roanoke,

tending to your child's growth.

About us

Little Sprouts is operated by Anneli Lukk and Chris Foley. Married since 2012, we have an 11-year-old daughter and a home in Raleigh Court that we share with our dog and chickens. We moved to Roanoke from Sarasota, Florida in 2019 with the goal of finding a place to live with an emphasis on outdoor living, seasonal change and mountains. It doesn't hurt that we have amazing family in the area! Roanoke has welcomed us with open arms, and we are so grateful to live in and be a part of such a lovely community. The Foley family lives a life with respect to our earth and community.
