| Little Acorn Learning ~ Mighty Oaks from Little Acorns Grow Nature Based Caregiving for Young Children |
Little Acorn Playgarden ~Mighty Oaks from Little Acorns Grow Great people begin as small children. Great success often develops from something very small. Childhood is Sacred. This program is a gentle transition from home to school. Emphasis is placed on practical life skills such as dressing, brushing hair, cooking, cleaning, washing, baking, crafting and gardening. A respect and love for nature is fostered by daily nature walks, creating a seasonal nature table, gardening and pet care. Children enjoy circle time, fingerplays, puppet shows, watercolor painting, beeswax modeling, coloring, nature walks, outdoor play, a healthy snack (organic when possible) and creative free play. Monday, Wednesdays & Fridays 9:00 to 1:00 p.m. Extended Morning & Afternoon Care Available Teacher/Child Ratio is 1 or 2 Caregivers to 6 Children.
