Overview
SproutPress gives an early-learning centre a website that reads as warm, safe, and joyful — a cocoa-and-marigold palette, a hand-drawn sprout motif, and reassuring family-first copy, with none of the crayon-clip-art clichés. A hybrid Gutenberg theme, not a page-builder starter.
Everything a centre needs is modeled in native WordPress: programs by age (infants through before-and-after-school), approach pages, educators, parent resources, and locations as first-class content types with shared taxonomies — no ACF, no Elementor, no third-party form plugin.
Scheduling a visit is the emphasized path, backed by a native validated form; a governed enrolment & openings page fails closed — an opening only shows verified with a source and reviewer, and no fees are invented.
Native visit scheduling
The emphasized path — real validation, an error summary, and a success state, written to reassure parents.
Governed enrolment page
Openings fail closed — a spot only shows verified when its scope, source, and reviewer are present. No invented fees.
Warm, claim-safe copy
Licensing, ratios, and certifications clearly illustrative; safety copy reassuring without absolute guarantees.
Self-hosted fonts
Newsreader, Source Sans 3, and IBM Plex Mono served locally — zero Google-CDN calls, GDPR-friendly.
Accessible & translation-ready
WCAG 2.2 AA intent throughout, every string internationalized, escaped output and sanitized input.
