Our Philosophy
“Our care of the child should be governed, not by the desire to make him learn things, but by the endeavor always to keep burning within him that light which is called intelligence.”
- Maria Montessori
Our curriculum is inspired by a Montessori philosophy which will lay the foundation for a genuine enthusiasm for knowledge and personal growth.
At Little Acorn Preschool, special care is taken to create an environment that is beautiful, harmonious and secure. We follow the circle of the year through music, yoga, storytelling, baking, mindfulness, poetry, art and seasonal tasks. The children’s imagination unfolds in play with simple, natural playthings and furnishings. A respect for the environment and “mother earth” will be fostered with hands-on discovery and appreciation for seasonal offerings. A secure daily and weekly rhythm with caring, loving and supportive adults will encourage children to flourish and grow strong and confident.
