| Little Acorn Learning ~Celebrating the Seasons with Children Holistic, Nature-Based Learning for Children and The Caregivers Who Guide Them |
| Featured Product Our *New* December Enrichment Guide is Available! |
| The Enrichment books are different from our regular 3 day and 5 day lesson plan guides. They follow a seasonal rhythm with weekly themes but the days are not planned out for you - allowing flexibility for you to add the activities in when you see fit. They are created in more of an ezine fashion with contributing writers and tutorials. If you are looking for each day planned, like lesson plans, please try our 3 day or 5 day childcare guides. **PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FILES ARE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE EMAIL ADDRESS YOU HAVE LISTED IN YOUR PAYPAL PROFILE WITHIN 48 HOURS OF YOUR ORDER. |

The Enrichment Guides are different from our regular 3 day and 5 day lesson plan guides... the Enrichment books follow the rhythm of a weekly theme with the flexibility that teachers, homeschoolers and afterschooling parents need to enrich their children's Waldorf learning experience at home or school. Our new Monthly Enrichment Guides are filled to the rim with crafts, recipes, activities, stories and inner-work suggestions and they follow a weekly theme to keep your home or school following a seasonal rhythm. They are not structured like classroom lesson plans, as our Childcare Lesson Plan Guides are and keep older children in mind along with the caregiver. They are created so you can use the ideas as time allows without having each day specifically planned out for you. These Enrichment Guides were created to help parents, teachers and caregivers of all types create a healthy, rhythmic and peaceful home for their children. These guides may be used with children attending traditional schools, Waldorf schools, private schools, childcare centers or with homeschooled children as an enrichment tool to extend their Little Acorn ‘Learning’. **PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FILES ARE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE EMAIL ADDRESS YOU HAVE LISTED IN YOUR PAYPAL PROFILE WITHIN 48 HOURS OF YOUR ORDER.
