EXPLORE OUR CLASSES

Early Threes Classes

EARLY THREES

This class is tailored for children who reach the age of three between September 1st – December 31st, marking a significant step into group experiences for many of them. It provides an invaluable opportunity for socialization, allowing them to interact with peers, navigate separation from parents, and delight in the joys of learning within a school environment.

Emphasizing language development and foundational social skills, this class offers a nurturing space for children to explore, grow, and flourish. Notably, toilet training is not a prerequisite for enrollment. To ensure personalized attention and a supportive atmosphere, class sizes are limited to 10 children.

Three Years Old Classes

THREE YEARS OLD

The Three Year Old classes are designed for children who reach the age of 3 before September 1st, offering them a vibrant environment for friendship-building and exploration. In this dynamic setting, children engage in activities that foster social skills, problem-solving abilities, self-help techniques, and introductory academics.

With a focus on holistic development, these classes provide a rich foundation for their educational journey. To ensure ample attention and interaction, class sizes are restricted to a maximum of 10 students.

Elizabeth Huber

I highly recommend Acorn Academy to everyone I know. The director and teachers are stellar. They are so good with kids and this is what they were meant to do. I felt like through their teaching, my children became kindergarten ready, got to learn through playing, started making friends with their peers, and loved school! This is all I could have hoped for in their preschool experience!

Steven Clark

We couldn’t be happier with Acorn Academy! Mrs. Ruby and the entire staff are amazing—dedicated, caring, and professional. Our son looks forward to going to school every day, and we’ve seen incredible growth in both his academic and social skills. The level of communication between the staff and parents is excellent, and we always feel informed about his progress.
