Little Acorn provides a creative, natural and explorative
approach to childcare.  We believe that Play is the true “work”
of a child.  Children are provided with plenty of opportunity for
imaginative free play and creativity.

We believe that young children learn primarily through
imitation.  We work to ensure that the children in our care are
surrounded by people, actions and activities that are worthy of
being imitated.  

Children thrive when provided with a healthy flow and rhythm
to their day.  Little Acorn has established times for various
activities that children, parents and caregivers can depend on.  

We offer childcare in a holistic and warm home environment
free of media and electronic toys and full of creative free play
and celebration of the natural earth and seasons.  We are deeply
inspired by Waldorf Education and weave the philosophy into
our work and play with the children in our care.  We are a self-
affiliate of Lifeways North America.  

Religious Orientation

Little Acorn Playgarden strives to create an atmosphere where
all religions are valued and belief is a matter of personal choice.  

While our program is not religiously oriented, we do honor a
Creator by saying or singing grace at meals and in verse and
songs. We celebrate many seasons and festivals, with an
emphasis on Christian saints and holidays.  We encourage you
to share your traditions and customs with us so we can
incorporate them into our program for your child.

Environment

Little Acorn Playgarden aims to create a natural, nurturing,
home-like environment that stimulates children’s bodies, spirits
and souls. Most play materials are kept simple and usually made
of all-natural materials such as wool, wood, cotton, silk, etc.  
We strive to spend much of our time outdoors exploring the
natural world in rain, snow and sunshine!

Media/TV Policy

Little Acorn Playgarden does not use television, video games,
computers or hand held games during daycare hours.  We
occasionally enjoy books on tape or child-appropriate music.   
If you have special restrictions regarding recorded media with
your children, please let us know and we will be happy to
accommodate your requests.
