SPROUTS LEARNING ACADEMY - Key Persons
Lisa Burns are the proud owners of Sprouts Learning Academy, the premier Christian preschool and learning academy and daycare in Seguin, TX.
Lisa had the vision to create a preschool and child care environment that mirrored the quality care children get in their own home. Being a mother of seven children, she understands how essential it is to find a nurturing environment where children can feel loved and encouraged to explore their world. This is where her idea for a learning academy began to grow.
Education has always been important to Al and Lisa. They both excelled in high school, where they first met. While Al spent two years in France serving a Christian service mission, Lisa completed her Bachelor's degree in Accounting and Business. Upon his return, they married. Lisa gained valuable experience managing several businesses, and Al lived out his boyhood dream of working as a licensed pyrotechnician and attending college and later Dental School at the University of Nebraska.
The family moved to Seguin to open Alligator Dental, the first pediatric dental office in the area. Al and Lisa fell in love with South Texas and the area. They quickly decided that this place was home and raise their children. Their love for the community prompted them to open both Mixed Pickles and Sprouts Learning Academy- to provide places for children to learn and grow.
Lisa is a very busy mom who balances home, serving in the community in many capacities and running their businesses. Al is an active and fun dad who balances servicing the little teeth of Seguin and teaching at the University of Texas Health Science Center.
While they balance busy work lives, Al and Lisa never lost sight of the importance of childcare and education in the young lives of children. It's part of the reason why they found it so important to open Sprouts Learning Academy when First Baptist Christian Academy closed 2012. Even while dealing with the needs of their own children, the Burns family felt it important that the parents of Seguin had a childcare center and preschool academy they could count on, one that addresses all of the young students' needs.
